The proper way to protect your privacy on social media (security awareness)

 

Be wary of phone hacking

Today, everyone is constantly and everywhere using phones and other electronic devices, but the issue that can lead to the invasion of your privacy is the Internet.

Although the Internet has many advantages, it can also be dangerous, so use caution. In this article, we'll go over how your personal information and privacy can be compromised.

However, claiming that this item is merely a security notice

First, Facebook

Although Facebook is one of the most secure social networking sites, if your account is compromised, your privacy and all of your Facebook discussions are jeopardised.

Now that you're all wondering how our Facebook accounts could have been compromised, allow me to explain.

The simple answer is that the accounts are hacked by:

1. Having your Facebook account stolen as a result of your phone being hacked and linked to it

2- Be wary of bogus Facebook-like pages, as anyone can send you a link to one, and when you check in, your account information is sent to this individual, resulting in account theft.

Second, hacking the phone

We'll go over the most well-known methods of phone hacking because you should all be aware that phones can be compromised in a variety of ways.

1- Programs and applications: Exercise caution when downloading programmes or apps from unknown sources, as the majority of these apps can be mined for malicious code, rendering your phone hackable.

2- Links: If you use Google or Yahoo frequently, someone may send you an email with a link and instruct you to open it; however, if you do, your phone may be compromised and put at risk.

3. Wi-Fi: Be cautious when using public Wi-Fi networks because they can be used to hack your phone.

4- Bluetooth: Use this feature only when absolutely necessary because it can compromise your phone.

What should you do if your phone has been hacked?

In this scenario, you should first disconnect from the Internet and then avoid connecting the hacker phone to any other devices to prevent other devices from being hacked.

Next, use the odin programme to install software for the phone, being careful not to change the factory settings because this method will not scan the phone for viruses.

Finally, change the IP address of the Internet, and the penetration should be gone.

And now that we've explained why phones get hacked and how to remove the virus, we sincerely hope you found this post useful.
