With the rising vice of hacking in our society, it is important
to know about some clear signs that can help you discern if your phone has been
tampered with in any way. Here are 4 clear signs your phone was hacked.
Your Phone Suddenly Reboots Itself
This can be caused by two main things. The first is that your
phone might be experiencing some performance issues, a system breakdown of some
sort. The second is that it might of course have been hacked and the sudden
reboot is a consequence of your phone being tapped. Other signs that accompany
your phone's sudden reboot is your phone also suddenly dialing numbers and
starting applications on its own.
Noises or Echos During Your Calls
If you all of a sudden start to hear noises or echos during your
calls, and this has never happened when you're either calling those number or
making the calls at that location, your phone might have been hacked and your
calls are probably being monitored or listened in on.
Appearance of Mysterious Apps
You can all of sudden notice apps on your phone you don't
remember installing, while this might mean that a friend or relative might have
installed it without permission, if you can't point to anyone of those who have
access to your phone as the one responsible for installing the app, then you
can at that point consider that your phone might have been hacked. Hackers can
plant apps on phones to snoop, perform actions on their behalf, explore
calendars, access GPS etc. These 'hacker apps' can be even be hidden on your
phone and be running in the background, this is why you might notice a rapidly
decreasing battery life or your phone getting warm out of the blue without you
making calls with it or working with it in anyway. To deal with this, it is
best to avoid downloading just any kind of app, especially those that come with
pop-up ads.
Strange Texts
If you notice strange SMS text messages on your phone or texts
that appear as a single square or other strange characters, that might be an
attempt by hackers to download spyware or malware onto your device. You should
take note of this and be careful of it.
