Is Your Mobile Leaking your Secrets?

Yes, chances are there if you are using a sophisticated mobile, which
have all the hi-fi features like Bluetooth, GPS enabled, etc. Most of
the people who buy costly mobiles never think that their precious
mobile leaks away their secrets, conversations, SMS to their dear
ones, Bank details (if stored), etc, to the hacker who tracks you.
Nevertheless, why people track? Yes, they may do that for evil
intentions like, for example, steal money from you, blackmail you
(after knowing your secrets!), etc.

It is very easy nowadays to get tracked, hacked, and cheated. Your
hi-fi mobile is the culprit behind all these things. A hacker, who
hacks your phone, installs a small mischief code in your hi-fi mobile
using its enabled Bluetooth feature; without your knowledge. That's
it! From there on, whatever you do, wherever you go, whomever you talk
to and receive calls, whatever SMS you send /receive, etc, every thing
would get tracked by your hacker. The hacker will know your movements
even without your knowledge. Your hacker who sits at a distant safe
place and tracks all your stuff can record all your conversations and
SMS. Although you are the owner of your hi-fi mobile, frankly
speaking, the control lies literally in the hands of your hacker.

However, what are the ways that a mischief code could be installed on
your mobile? There are so many ways. As told earlier in this article,
one way is through enabled Bluetooth on your mobile. The other way is
when your mobile software gets crashed and you go to the showroom to
reinstall the mobile's software, then a rogue worker there can install
this kind of mischief code in your mobile.

Therefore, this blog suggests to go for an entry-level mobile instead
of opting for hi-fi one. The more hi-fi your mobile is, the more it is
vulnerable for getting hacked by the rogue elements.

So….BEWARE!
