There are several tell-tale signs of an infected smartphone, such as spikes in internet data usage or fast battery drain. This was told in the company ESET.

“Spontaneous inclusion of GPS or access to the network can also indicate that the device has been hacked. Pop-up ads appear on the screen or unknown applications installed without your knowledge, ”Lukas Stefanko, ESET malware researcher, listed the signs of a hack.

In addition, changes in the operation of applications, such as sudden opening or closing of software, as well as the presence of unfamiliar calls and messages in the history, can indicate a hacked smartphone.

To deprive a hacker of access to a smartphone, it is necessary to identify and remove a virus-infected application.

“Download and install a reliable mobile security solution that will scan your device for threats and remove them. Manual removal is usually possible, but much more difficult. Removing viruses is not always easy, because they often contain self-protection mechanisms against removal, ”advises the company.

Previously, she talked about how users become victims of scammers when looking for work.
