Ruslan Kosarim, deputy technical director for business development of the Angara group of companies, in an interview with the Prime agency, named the main signs of a hacked smartphone.
According to him, any anomalous or suspicious activity of the smartphone can speak of the “penetration” of cybercriminals into the smartphone. He noted that one of the likely signs of a hack could be an increase in battery discharge rate. “If it sits down faster, it may be home to a spy virus, the background activity of which increases the load on the battery,” said Kosarim.
The expert added that hacking may also be evidenced by the emergence of new applications that the owner of the smartphone did not install and that cannot be removed or closed. Also signs of hacking are auto-shutdown, the inability to launch the antivirus, suspicious notifications, as well as unreasonable debiting of money from the account.
Earlier, employees of the Center for Digital Expertise of Roskachestvo said that a smartphone can provide a lot of information about a user, for example, about a place of rest, visiting certain places. “The only question is who exactly owns this information,” the experts emphasized.
