Hi Mi Fans,Security tips for PCs encourage you to be more sensible with your password, to install anti-virus software, and to make regular backups in the event of a ransomware attack. Mobile malware is a massive threat, an area in which cybercriminals are focusing their efforts. Cybercriminals have correctly identified smartphones as a gateway to riches, and pivoted their attack vectors, and adding new ones, to target victims through their phones.
Smartphone Security RisksThe risks from mobile malware and smartphone security issues are clear. Consider the information you have stored on your iPhone, Android, Windows 10 Mobile, or even BlackBerry or Ubuntu Phone — all mobile operating systems are at risk. These devices store your name, they store your contacts. This represents a double payday for hackers — and double the risk to you.
Unless a cloud backup sync was in place which a thief or hacker might now gain access to , you would have to start from scratch. Security Threats Targeting Your SmartphoneThe most obvious threat to your smartphone security is through physical theft. Beyond this, there are several online risks to your smartphone and its data.
For example, mobile apps are a concern. Even those produced by the biggest names in software are not immune to vulnerabilities. Mobile banking malware is on the rise, for example, as is mobile ransomware. Web-based threats target your smartphone, again with the malvertising threat. You should also be aware of the threat from unsecure Wi-Fi connections — these are a particular risk in shopping centers and cafes. So, six threats, each targeting your phone in different ways. Is there anything you can do to mitigate them?
How can you defeat the smartphone scammers? SMS, for instance, displays text messages with HTML formatting, meaning the links are clickable, rather than just in plain text.
The same is true of online messaging services, from Skype to Facebook Messenger. Emails, of course, feature clickable links. These messaging mediums are used as attack vectors by scammers desperate for you to click on their links. Before installing any software on any mobile or desktop device, you need to know a bit about it. Find out more about what the app does, and what permissions it requires. You should also check through the reviews. Does the app do what the description claims? Are there any poor reviews?
Do bad reviews set off alarm bells, or explicitly state that the app is dangerous? And when was the app last updated? As for choosing an app store, you should stick to the trusted options. In the case of Android, this means sticking with the Play Store. Perhaps you prefer the convenience of shopping on your phone from the office?
Well, so is having your phone stolen. So is having your account accessed by a stranger, your credit card accessed and misused. Very inconvenient.
Malicious functionalities in mobile software released by Apple or Google are listed in dedicated pages, Apple's Operating Systems are Malware and Google's Software Is Malware respectively.

Here is a third example where the set is clearer and easier to capture for a camera. The grey background takes a slightly brownish hue. While there is not much detail here, it seems that this does not operate via the universal back door that we know nearly all portable phones have.
Log out. Keep Your Operating System and Apps Up-to-DateThis is one of those facets of computing that cannot be repeated enough, and it also applies to mobile phones. Whenever you spot an update is available for the operating system, make sure it is installed. System updates often include fixes for vulnerabilities, and the sooner these are closed, the safer your smartphone will be. The same goes for apps. Make sure you have given permissions for your app store to automatically updated installed apps. Anyone who needs you that urgently will send a text message or — amazingly — use the phone.
The same goes for Bluetooth, too. No headset or keyboard required right now?
The same goes for location services. If you want your smartphone to be truly secure, you need to deal with privacy. Disable location services unless you absolutely need them for using a map, for instance. Even if your social profile is private, if a friend has their account compromised, much of your personal information will come to light.
If not, trouble will follow. Do you want to open your phone up to potential issues and security threats just to gain some functional improvements? The choice is yours. Maintain a Backup RegimeWhat happens to the data on your phone if the device is lost, stolen or locked with ransomware? If you enjoy smartphone photography then your hard work could be lost. Your MP3 collection, vital email attachments, and more might also be lost. To avoid this, you need to make backups of the contents of your smartphone.
Manually backing up your data via USB cable is one option for Android users, but apps are available that do this. Check this before the worst happens. Use a Mobile Security SuiteYou use security tools on your desktop computer. Why should the pocket computer in your hand be any different? Android is a more likely target than iOS, so installing a competent security suite that will deal with malware of all kinds is a good idea.
Ransomware, spyware, Android adware and Trojans can all be detected, blocked and removed with security tools. Like every object, it can be locked away, or hidden. If an object is hidden, no one is looking for it. Scammers and hackers look for low hanging fruit, quick opportunities. When people are leaving their phones on tables in bars, you need to learn to keep yours close by, using a hidden pocket, perhaps, or in a zipped inside pocket. In the street, rely on a Bluetooth earpiece rather than wave your phablet around.
At home and at work, maintain this philosophy. To measure network performance, I collect the signal strength in dBm of each cell during my travels.
