Bahkan jika anda menyimpan smartphone anda secara fisik aman di saku atau tas anda, itu masih beresiko untuk menerima virus atau bocorkan data kepada pencuri. Peretas tidak memerlukan akses fisik ke ponsel anda untuk mencuri informasi pribadi anda atau menginfeksi perangkat dengan malware. Mereka menyusup ke ponsel Anda dengan aplikasi yang tampaknya tidak baik atau menautkannya melalui jaringan WiFi yang tidak aman. Anda dapat menjaga diri dari serangan para peretas dengan mengambil langkah-langkah untuk mengamankan smartphone anda.

Step 1

Kunci telepon anda saat anda tidak menggunakannya. Set password dan ubah secara teratur untuk mencegah orang lain menebaknya. Kunci pola adalah alternatif jika anda mengalami kesulitan mengingat password anda. Ponsel anda mungkin juga memiliki fitur kunci pengenalan wajah. Jika ini aktif, perangkat akan terbuka hanya ketika kamera mendeteksi wajah anda. Pengenalan suara adalah pilihan lain; dengan ini diaktifkan, telepon anda perlu mendengar suara anda mengatakan kata atau frase tertentu untuk membuka kunci.

Step 2

Activate your phone's tracker capability, if it has one. If your phone supports this feature, you can see its location on a map and track the device when it moves. If your phone is stolen or lost, use the tracker app to lock it remotely. This makes it harder for hackers to access your data.

Step 3

Update your phone's firmware to the most current version. Many phones do this for you automatically, but if you've turned this option off, you'll need to download the update manually. You can download the latest update directly from your phone. Alternatively, connect your phone to the computer and launch the software that came with the device. The application will connect to the download Web page and install the firmware on your phone.

Step 4

Install apps on your phone only if they come from a trusted source, such as the manufacturer's app store. Most official app stores verify the authenticity of their products, so they're much safer. Before downloading any app, read the description and reviews so you understand what you're getting.

Step 5

Check an app's permissions before installing it. If an app requests access to your personal information, don't install it or deny the request.

Step 6

Avoid leaving your phone alone in a public place, such as on a restaurant table or on your office desk. If you must leave the phone, keep it locked and hide it somewhere, such as in a drawer, to prevent theft.

Step 7

Delete text messages from unknown senders that ask for your information, and avoid clicking links in messages. Some hackers send messages that appear to be from your bank or another trusted source. If you click the link in the message, the hacker can steal your information or install malware on the phone. Don't download apps via text message; this is a common way for hackers to infect your device.

Step 8

Access the Internet on your phone only from a secure Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi networks that aren't secure allow nearby hackers to intercept your data when you get online. Don't do any shopping or banking on a public Wi-Fi network; hackers can swipe your bank account number or other financial information. Instant-messaging and other communications apps may contain security holes that allow hackers to snatch your personal data. If you have access to a cellular network, use it instead of public Wi-Fi.

Step 9

Protect your phone with an anti-virus app. Check your phone's app store to see what's available for your device.

Tip

   Your smartphone may have been hacked if you notice apps opening by themselves or if the battery drains much faster than normal. Unusual charges on your wireless bill also indicate a problem.
