“Prime”: cyber expert Gulevich said that the modules in the smartphone’s OS monitor geolocation

Modules in the operating system (OS) of the smartphone monitor geolocation, connection to and movement between mobile operators, as well as connection to Wi-Fi networks. Viktor Gulevich, Director of the Competence Center for Information Security T1 Integration, spoke about the reasons for surveillance through a smartphone in an interview with the Prime agency.

According to the expert, smartphone applications collect all the information received from photos and videos – in particular, the date of shooting, the location of the shooting, data about the characters, and so on.

The cyberexpert recommended following the basic security rules in the information space – do not download little-known applications, monitor the level of access that applications ask for during installation, and prohibit applications from accessing the Internet. On the computer, you can use a firewall – a barrier to unwanted content.

Earlier, the head of the Competence Center for Information Security T1 Integration Valery Stepanov said that users of Telegram and WhatsApp messengers can become victims of surveillance.
