“Prime”: cyber expert Gulevich said that airplane mode will help stop scammers
Director of the Competence Center for Information Security of T1 Group Viktor Gulevich, in an interview with the Prime agency, called the non-obvious benefit of the airplane mode in the phone, emphasizing that it can be useful not only during the flight, but also in everyday life.
According to Gulevich, this way you can save the charge of the device. It is also worth turning on airplane mode if you need to quickly charge your phone. In addition, by turning the “flight mode” on and off, you can restore the cellular signal. After performing this action, the device will start looking for the nearest tower again, the cyber expert said.
Airplane mode can stop you from downloading web content from fraudulent sites, but it’s important to remember to turn off Wi-Fi beforehand so that your device doesn’t search for a network. In addition, airplane mode helps block GPS signals, so no one can track the user’s location, Gulevich said.
Earlier, Maria Fesenko, an information security specialist at Security Code, revealed the danger of connecting to free Wi-Fi and told how you can protect yourself from intruders.
