 How to Secure Your Phone From Hackers

.

If you want to be proactive, there are several measures 

you can take to protect yourself against phone hacking,

 most of which involve common sense. In addition, 

there are advanced methods to ensure that your 

phone is as secure as possible (without losing its full functionality).

For casual phone users, adhering to the basics is a great place to start when it comes to blocking simple hacking efforts:

Never leave your phone unattended. 

Keeping your phone with you at all times while in a public place is the first, best rule to follow.

Change your phone’s default passcode. 

Your phone likely comes with a simple, 

predictable default password, and those

 who know can use this to their advantage. Change your code to something more complex, and resist the usual "1234," "0000" and “2580” codes that are commonly used.

Protect your PIN and Credit Card data. 

Use a protected app to store PIN numbers and credit cards, or better yet, don’t store them in your phone at all.
