The iPhone is the most expensive consumer mobile phone on the market and holds personal information that is extremely valuable to criminals. A recent Wall Street Journal report reveals that hackers are monitoring users as they enter their passcodes on the device and figuring out how to determine the code. This information could be used to reset the password on Apple ID and gain access to all of the data of users in iCloud. Apple is currently working on updating its software to counter these techniques. However, there are a number of ways that anyone can take to protect their iPhone from app thieves.
Make sure you have a secure password. Make it as difficult to guess as it is, regardless of whether you are using Face ID, Touch ID or a 4-digit numeric number. This is the first step in keeping thieves from gaining access to your iPhone as well as your personal information.
Check out all the apps that allow you to access your location services as well as your camera and microphone on your iPhone. If you find any suspicious behaviour (for example, an app asking for access to your contacts list or camera), remove these permissions immediately. Also, enable two-factor authentication in the Settings app as well as in any apps that support it. This will prevent a thief from hacking into your iCloud account and downloading your personal information from the cloud.
A trusted security application can provide a wide range of security features that cover the entire iPhone. Mobile Security by Trend Micro for instance, analyses Internet activity to detect harmful websites, adware, as well as protects your iPhone against identity theft through social media platforms, such as Instagram. It provides the best security by securing your privacy while blocking ads. F-Secure’s SaFE is another great choice for a secure iOS experience. The app offers a comprehensive security suite, including vaults for up to 40 photos, as well as a www.directionsoftware.org/virtual-data-room-is-the-best-choice-for-information-classification-and-storing leak alert that will notify you if your email password is leaked.
