How to recognize a broken smartphone: the main signs

Experts shared information on how to determine whether a smartphone has been hacked by attackers. One of the most obvious signs of unauthorized access is a camera that suddenly activates. In addition, background noise may occur during phone calls, which is also a sign of possible hacking.

What you should know

You should not ignore the fact that the smartphone has started to discharge much faster than usual. In case of such suspicions, experts advise immediately resetting the device to factory settings. After that, it is strongly recommended to change passwords and access to all important applications.

Applications that were installed from dubious sources should be replaced with versions downloaded from official resources. The most common cause of hacking is insufficient caution of users when installing new programs.
