The first sign of an attack on a smartphone is that the device is not working properly.
According to Gadin.Net, Prime reported this with reference to the statement of the chief consultant Elena Ageyeva.
According to him, if the smartphone starts flashing on its own or new applications appear, the owner should be concerned.
Rapid weakening of the battery, overheating of the device when not in use, and an increase in Internet traffic for no apparent reason are signs of an attack.
In addition, outgoing or incoming calls not made by the user also mean an attack on the smartphone.
At the same time, communication problems during the call - late communication with the subscriber, interference and noise are also suspicious reasons.
When any signs of an attack appear, you should look at the list of installed applications, remove unused or suspicious ones, as well as deactivate call forwarding and SMS messages. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended not to connect to public Wi-Fi networks, to periodically check the device for virus applications, and not to download applications from unofficial sources.
