HOW A PHONE CAN GET HACKED...

1. THROUGH SS7

Ss7 signaling is the system used to connect cell phone networks to one another, but in order to use this system as a method of hacking phones, one must have access to it. Recording calls, forwarding calls, reading messages, can be done with access to the SS7 system.

2. MALWARE OR SPYWARE

The apps on your phone have access to all kinds of information stored on it. This includes your contacts, browsing history, saved logins, your location, etc. And even if all of those are stored in an encrypted form, a keylogger spyware app can bypass that by monitoring what you type before it ever gets encrypted.

3. SIM CARD SWAPPING

SIM card swapping is performed when the hacker contacts your phone provider, pretends to be you, and then asks for a replacement SIM card. Once the provider sends the new SIM to the hacker, the old SIM card will be deactivated, and your phone number will be stolen.

4. THROUGH BLUETOOTH

When hackers are connected to your Bluetooth, they have access to all of the information available and the internet connection to access the web, but the data must be downloaded while the phone is within range.

5. THROUGH PHISHING

Phishing is a method used by hackers where they impersonate a company or trusted individual in order to gain confidential data. Hackers use this method by sending official-looking codes, images, and messages, most commonly found in email and text messages.

6. THROUGH SOFTWARE

The serious hackers can buy hacking software anywhere, such as a phone Spy App, which must be installed on the target phone. Not all hackers need to handle a phone physically in order to install hacking software, but in some cases they must.

7. THROUGH USB CHARGER

In many versions of Android, the device mounts the hard drive as soon as the cable is connected

to a computer. The latter can be set up to automatically upload malware or spyware when this happens. So, try not to charge your phone on public computers, or ones that you don't trust.?
