You may think it\u2019s a little outlandish that you have to protect your phone from cyber attacks, but unfortunately, celebrities aren\u2019t the only people who get their phones hacked. In reality, it\u2019s much easier than anyone thinks, and even an amateur can manage to get into your voicemail or view your smartphone’s browsing history.<\/p>\n
Because you are probably beginning to use your mobile device for more and more things, it\u2019s time that you start taking precautions. Even new technology with good intentions, like Caller ID spoofing, can be turned against you by someone who wishes to infiltrate your phone.<\/p>\n
Because our phones often contain important information, taking steps to ensure they remain protected is more important than ever. Here are just a few ways to do so.<\/p>\n
Treat Your Voicemail PIN like a Password<\/strong><\/p>\n We think that our voicemail passwords aren\u2019t important as, say, our banking information. However, if spoofing websites can manage to get into our voicemail accounts, they may be able to access valuable information that is left as a message on your voicemail. For example, they may be able to figure out where you live from which doctor reminds you about an appointment, or they may figure out which bank or credit cards you use because of a different voicemail left. While this information alone can\u2019t do much for a hacker, combined with other information they may have found out about you through other means, it can be deadly.<\/p>\n
