6 signs that your smartphone may be hacked and how to prevent it — illustrates

- Spy applications like Spy Phone App, Spyzie or Spyera allow hackers to quickly acquire your phone.

- Through non-password Wi-Fi network in cafes or airports. Using Wi-Fi means you have shared all your traffic with people around.

- When charging your phone via a strange USB port (including in an airplane or a car) all your data will be transmitted without your knowledge.

- When you receive a phishing SMS with a link that says it is: bank statement, transfer your money or photos. So you click on it, download it. So you’ve revealed all your phone data to hackers.

- Most phone stations around the world use SS7 signal system so hackers can read messages, eavesdrop on your phone and monitor phone location. But if you are not a celebrity, it is not worrying.

6 signs to identify phone hacked

- Your phone suddenly runs out of battery very quickly. It may be because the strange application runs underground inside your phone.

- Your phone heats up, even if you don’t call or use it. This is another indication that a strange application is running in the background.

- Your phone automatically restarts, turns off, dials or starts the application. If it is not a system problem, it is because someone controls it remotely.

- Strange phone number in your "Recent calls" section.

- You cannot turn off the phone. It opens different applications, boosts light, and so on

- There are noises or echoes during calls that you don’t know from.
