All data are available and only the time of time when they are used by dishonesty.
< p > exist & nbsp; three categories of messages & nbsp; which is extremely undesirable to store on a mobile device if you do not want to be victims of frauds < h3 >1. Passwords and access codes
< p > & laquo; that can happen ? is only a one -time code! It can no longer be used! & Amp; raquo; & ndash; Records a trusting user. However, the fraudulent corresponds to: & laquo; thank you, friend & raquo;.
< p > The essence of the problem is that even a few digits can provide attackers valuable information. Especially if they already have part of information about you, such as a name, phone number or login to a bank account. Recovering access to accounts is reminiscent of a complex quest in which each item matters.
< p >Therefore, if you receive a SMS with a confirmation code, enter it immediately and delete the message. Without hesitation. Ideally & ndash; Also clean the basket. Remember that in Android and iOS systems, distant SMS can remain in the memory; Rsquo; the device of the device for several weeks or even months.
< h3 > 2. Photos of personal documents
< P > This category includes: & nbsp; passport, driver's license & nbsp; and any other data that can be used to legitimize your person.
< P > What can fraudsters with similar images ? decorate micro-posts, buy seven-cards, create counterfeit accounts and even sell this data in Darknet.
~ ~ < p > Just one clear shot with the data read & ndash; This is the way to many problems. Therefore, you should not think: & laquo; because I only photographed and sent a friend, then I will remove & raquo;. Delete now and not then.< p >If you need to save the following data, download them in a secure cloud storage with two -factor authentication or use reliable password managers such as 1password, Nordlocker or Google Files with Encryption.
~ ~ < H3 > 3. Correspondence containing personal and confidential information< P > PIN CODES, Bank Card numbers, CVC codes, home addresses, close-ups of close & nbsp; nbsp; nbsp ;, answers to secret questions, such as & laquo; what your dog's name is in your childhood ? & All this data can be used against you.
< P > Malimists, having access to your phone, are often looking for SMS and messages in messengers. And if they find correspondence with a mother & rsquo; yu, where you reported: & laquo; password from wi-fi as from card & raquo;, it can end badly.
~ ~ ~ > < P > Even if you store similar information in a chat with yourself, this is not a safe option. If the phone is in the hands of a fraud without lock, your safety will be threatened.
