What is Phone Hacking?
Your phone can never be hacked without your consent? Yes, you heard it absolutely right. No one can hack your phone without your consent. And neither can steal your data. Now you say what the hell are you doing? Why would we want our phone to be hacked? And our data is stolen. So I will give you the answer very comfortably and in detail. Also I will tell you what are the ways to hack the phone? And how can you avoid them? So let's get started.
Why Phone Hack is done?
Sometimes this question must have come in your mind that why and why our phone is hacked? And what do hackers get by doing this? So for this you have to understand the importance of your data. Because until you know the value of your data! Till then you will not understand this game of data theft.
I would like to tell you that if anything is the most valuable thing of the 21st century, it is our data. That is why the eyes of hackers are always on our data. Because it sells very expensive. That's why hackers steal whatever data from our phone, they sell it to big companies. and earn good money. At the same time, there are some hackers who blackmail Victim and extort money from him. That is, by showing the fear of making private data viral, they rob.
Ways to Hack Phone
Well, there are many ways to hack the phone. But here we will talk about only those methods, which are used the most. I would like to tell you that most hackers use these methods. Usually, to hack a phone, some app or virus is definitely inserted in it. But the user does not even know about it. Because this type of virus often works in secret. And leave no trace behind. As happened in the case of Agent Smith Virus in the past. This virus also worked so cleanly that the users did not even know that there is a virus in their phone.
Actually, this type of virus completely disappears as soon as it is installed in the phone. That is, hide yourself. And keep doing your work silently in the background. That is why it is very difficult to identify them. But the question is, how do these viruses come in our phone? So there are many ways to do this. Here are some popular methods.
1. Malicious Apps
Malicious Apps are those apps which are infected with a Virus. Dangerous Malwares and Malicious Codes are hidden in such apps, which take over Victim's phone. And steal the data from the phone and send it to the hacker. But Victim does not know about this. RAT, Trojan Horse and Ransomware are similar malwares.
Usually such apps are made available through a Third Party App Store or any website. Because they are not allowed on Official App Stores. That's why these apps are made quite interesting and entertaining. So that more and more people download them and download as per their wish. At the same time, Rewards and Cash Prizes are also used to download these apps. So that people get greedy and download these apps very easily.
2. Phishing
It is completely a game of greed and deceit. In this, a link is sent to Victim, with which there is a message. Victim is lured in this message. Such as the greed of iPhone, car, cash prize or job. Also the name and logo of a big company are used. So that Victim does not have any kind of doubt. But when Victim clicks on that link, he reaches a fake webpage. Which is exactly like the real webpage. Here Victim is asked to download the Malicious App.
But the name and description of this app is something else. Also this instruction is written with the app that download this app and register on it. And complete your profile. Only then will you get your reward or job (whatever it is). But when Victim downloads and opens that Malicious App, then many types of permissions are asked from it. And as soon as you allow these permissions, the phone becomes hacked.
3. Spam Links
Hacking the phone through Spam Links is quite common. For this, usually Message, Email or Social Media (such as Facebook, WhatsApp etc.) is used. In this a link is sent to Victim, which is Misspelled or Shorten URL. That's why Victim does not know what is actually behind that link? But when Victim clicks on that link then some infected file or app gets downloaded. Which hacks the phone's system.
4. Popups
During browsing, there is a lot of frost from Popup Messages. But there are some popups that appear suddenly and say that your phone is in danger. Or a dangerous virus has been found in your phone. So download this app immediately and scan your phone as soon as possible. Otherwise the phone will be hacked. Also, the animation of the popup is such that a new user gets scared on seeing the poor person. That's why he quickly downloads that Malicious App. And gets his phone hacked by his own hands.
5. Email Attachments
It is very easy to hack the phone through email attachments. Because email is a basic internet service. That's why everyone uses it. But some people break down on seeing the attachment that came with the email. And download it immediately and see what is in it? But sometimes this haste is very expensive. When a Virus Infected File comes out in the attachment. And it corrupts all the files. So be careful while downloading Email Attachments.
6. Downloading
What do you do when you have to download a Photo, Video, Mp3 Song, Document or Software etc.? Obviously ! You must have searched by going to Google and downloaded your file from any website suggested by Google? Is not it ? But do you check whether that file is real or not? Do you check whether that website is trustworthy or not?
- I would like to tell you that there are many such websites on the Internet, where you get Virus Infected Files. On these websites, you get everything from Pirated CD / DVDs to Cracked Softwares. But security is not available. That is why when you download a file from these websites, then dangerous Trojans are available with it for free. Who hack your phone.
7. Rooted Phone
Many people are not happy with the performance of their phone. That's why they root their phone. Due to this the performance of the phone increases. But the security runs out. Therefore hacking the phone becomes quite easy. I would like to tell you that it is common for a rooted phone to have dangerous viruses and Trojans. And you must have also heard this somewhere that Viruses come a lot in Rooted Phone. Actually this is absolutely true. So if you are using Rooted Phone, then your phone can be hacked anytime.
8. Friends,
is there any friend in your friend circle who has good knowledge about technology? If yes, then never give him your phone. Because your phone can be hacked. You might not believe me, but it is absolutely true. Such friends often ask for the phone on the pretext of calling. And walk away while talking on the phone. And when they are out of your sight, then by installing Spy Apps in your phone, they hide them. And return the phone to you. After that your friend keeps getting information about Call, Message, Internet Browsing or whatever you do from your phone. Even to whom did you send what message? To whom did you talk? Your friend also gets to know all this.
