Security Blunders People Make With Their Smartphones


# Opening Questionable content:

 Content which pose as a security risk can be in the form of text messages in the phones. These text messages contain links to the websites that contain threats, so avoiding text messages with links from untrusted sources would be a good idea.

 Texts are not the only ones; the apps downloaded onto the phones can also be equally vulnerable. The apps which pose as a trusted source one are often mistaken by users and the malicious viruses get downloaded onto their phones.

 These apps remain in the app store even though Apple and Google have screening processes for their apps. 

# Using unsecure Wi-fi: Authorized Wi-Fi usage at your office or your home would be a perfect option. If not these, using the Wi-Fi at your friends or any place where you know who owns the network might pose a problem for the phone’s data.

The unprotected or the free access Wi-Fi networks would never have a firewall to protect them, allowing all the devices with access into the network making it effortless for the hackers to view the data on the phone as everyone are in the same network.
