If our phone is taken away from us for even a day, for most of us it’s like being deprived of a basic need. We store all kinds of data in our phone – contacts, photos, videos, personal data, documents; we use numerous apps for making our lives easy – banking, insurance, online shopping, stocks, real estate; we rely on our phones for communication and socialising – chatting and video calling, social media, emails, professional groups; the list is endless with what phones can be used for. Needless to say, if one loses their phone or it gets stolen, all that data and information is at risk.

However, the content they send has a virus or malware that, if clicked on, will get access to all information on your phone or remotely control your phone.

If a hacker is within range of your phone and the Bluetooth on your phone is activated, the hacker can then connect to your phone and access all data within.
