Spyware on a smartphone can track the user’s location, steal personal data and bank accounts. In this respect informs Agency “Prime”, with reference to the director of the information security competence center of T1 Group Viktor Gulevich.
According to the expert, clear signs of the presence of such a program are too fast draining of the device’s battery, an increase in consumption of mobile traffic, a decrease in smartphone performance or its spontaneous restart.
To identify such software, Gulevich recommends paying attention to unexpected changes in device settings. For example, if the start search page in the browser changed by itself. In addition, the expert noted that pop-ups or error messages from the device may also indicate virus software.
To prevent the emergence of spyware, you should only download and install applications from trusted sources, official app stores and company websites. It is also recommended to use a mobile antivirus. Android users should also check the “Accessibility” section in Settings for permissions that allow third-party software to “spy” on other programs, change settings at will, and perform various functions on behalf of the owner.
