Bangalore: Many security firms have predicted that cybercriminals would focus efforts on smartphones and tablets. This prediction may come true to the mobile users this year, because the increasing importance of smartphones and tablets in the lives of consumers and workers has made the devices more attractive to attackers. So here are 7 tips to make your mobile secure: 1)Use your phone's security lock code:
Use your phone\'s security lock code:
Create a password for your cell phone so that you can lock it and nobody can open it except you. We all like our privacy, so set a pass code to your phone, and then lock the cell phone whenever necessary. In some occasions if you simply lock your cell phone and have not set a specific pass code, then you may use the default pass code to gain entry into your phone. The following tip will get your phone unlocked and back in working order. First, think of what your password could possibly be. Your password is only four numbers, so it can only be any variation of 1-9 for each digit. This means if you start at 0000 and go to 9999 you will encounter your password. Simply punch in 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003 and so on and so forth until you reach your password. You can start at 7000 and go to 8000 first if you think your password begins with 7 or any variation like this. You don't have to start at 0000, just keep track of where you start and the numbers you have tried so you won't repeat any numbers. Eventually, your phone will unlock and all the work will be worth it!
