Buy a real phone.

If it is the cheapest iPhone, get it. Let me say this again. Buy an iPhone. If you must use an android, get a Samsung or any other major brand. Do not buy Tecno, Infinix, Itel or any other android that ships with factory spyware.

Any phone manufacturer that doesn’t take privacy seriously is just a brick manufacturer.

The volume of malware on phones in Nigeria is alarming.

The main culprits are Tecnos and Infinix. They come with malwares right out of the box and there is little you can do about it.

Dont use easybuy.

Don’t download loan apps.

Don’t use the same browser that you use for everything for porn or other illicit sites.

Dont click on funny links.

Dont use tiktok.

mother board greetings, very on point

Hackers have tools than the ones you know. This is not about TECNO phone. I can tell you categorically that I have always used TECNO phones and I have never experienced what the guy experienced.

Everyone just needs to be very careful and be mindful of what they do on their devices. TECNO has greatly improved.

Poloyanabo2:
Ken4Christ , so you are using Tecno phone and complaining of all phones?

if you're really serious about anything ICT, you won't dare to use Tecno, Infinix or Itel.

go for, if new one is not possible, buy second hand devices from Google pixel, IPhone, Samsung.

When you do that, then you can complain about hackers and get meaningful replies.

may God never allow me use my money to buy a Tecno/Infinix phone for over 20k, nor to feel fulfilled using it, I deserve better.

I use Samsung Galaxy. My accounts were hacked. They know I am aware, they keep using different method. When I stopped using phone for political matters but only laptop, I experience the same thing after some times.

Change your passwords on all your social media accounts.

There are options on every social network to log out of all existing log ins. Use that.

It is not your phone that is the problem. It is your socials and footprints plus possibly someone close to you.

I use a nokia android... Is it safe.




It's high time dz bloody brand makes me their brand ambassador.. How do i keep using d same brand since i was a kid...

It is possible Nokia is ‘better’. I am not sure because i have not used one in a long while.

However, I know for a fact that iPhones especially the ones on ios 16 have privacy at their core. Even Facebook and Google got angry.

USA na hypocrite.. they fought Huawei because Huawei was the top brand in phones in the US. They are fighting TikTok because it's the number 1 app even in the US. I just Google Xiaomi backdoor and nothing happened. Hauwei, vivo, and others are making great products. Even the so called iphone are assembled in china, they semi Chinese branded if you reason that way. All the iphone or apple products chipset are manafuctrd by TSMC, a company in Taiwan lol . Baba abeg rest e

Fact check. Huawei has never been the top brand in the US. It was a top brand in china.

US blacklisted Huawei for security concerns.

You obviously dont know what a backdoor is or how to look for one.

TikTok investigations have revealed that the company actually spies on users. This is as new as a few weeks ago.

Chips are manufactured from blueprints. Apple supplies its own blueprints. You cannot add any extra post-blueprint.

Taiwan is different from China but you also might not know this.

I have not forced you to stop using your Xiaomi. However, your claim that Xiaomi is secure (in the same breath as an iPhone) is completely false.

Cheers

You haven't experienced them because you are not yet a target. They don't do it to everyone.

The TECNO SPARK Go is a new product and it's less than a year I got the phone.

They started doing so when I was using Phantom A 7. But I just ignored them thinking it wasn't causing much harm.

They even hacked my website and Amazon account. I was able to recover the latter but I closed the website.

It's still the same thing....you get yourself exposed/detected that's why!

You remember the over 80 Russian soldiers that were killed 2days ago by Ukraine? Reports had it that their mobile phones gave them away.

Your case may not be mobile phone, but certainly an uncleaned fingerprints (technologically or physically) somewhere is giving you out.

I know where the attack is coming from but I don't have physical evidences to take a legal action. It's from a leading ministry I served for several years. I was oppressed because of my potentials. I opted to leave but I am shocked they are still fighting me. The reason might be to cover up their evil deeds from being exposed in future.

Frequently scroll down your Apps. Get familiar with already installed or operating files/Apps. Look out 4 Apps or files you're not familiar with. Delete. Chances are that they hack using some kinda names attached to Google this or Google that.

I am so shocked at the ways hackers get easy access to one's phone. Why can't manufacturers produce phones with protective features? Why is our phones so vulnerable to attacks by internet fraudsters to the point that they can delete some of your files.

And we don't have people who can give useful suggestions on how to protect one's phone.

You use VPN, they still bypass it.

You try other apps to block them, they still get access.

Is phone technology getting useless?

The cons seems to outweigh the pros.

I need expert advice.

A leading ministry has sponsored hackers to monitor me for more than 10 years now. Though, I just discovered last year.

They have blocked most of the transactions that would have translated to wealth for over a decade now.

Who can give me useful suggestions?

Speak for yourself . When you guys keep buying Tecno INFINIX and ITEL ,phones with extensive bloatware and malwares with back doors that by pass your phone security.

Why do you think Google has refused to grant Transsion (manufacturer of Tecno,INFINIX and ITEL) OEM status?

Because their phones have so many added back doors into your phone built unit their rubbish HIOS or INFINIX os and ITEL os.

I pity people who buy those phones

I don't think this issue is about any particular brand, it's more about being smart as a smartphone user. Be able to identify phishing links, don't save passwords on site that you're not sure of, use 2FA, etc. These steps will make it difficult for you to get hacked into.

Obviously, you alone know what you have been doing with your device, android or iPhone, or Microsoft if you are visiting sites that's will make ur device vulnerable to hacking sure they will easily hack into ur device.

less do some people know that when downloading stuff online and prompt pops up to accept and you clicked on them some hackers do use that to inject anything dey needed to be in ur system.

some inbuilt apps do detect that but most people ignore it.

my point. if u like, use TESLA SMARTPHONE and u still keep visiting places that will make ur device vulnerable my brother u are still n the game

90% of the analysis here are just dumb use the most recent IPhone and be careless you will be hacked use Spark 3 and be dilligent security wise you wont get hacked

OP go to Quora and ask this question you will see quality answers
IPhone Samsung or whatever can't save you if your careless with your phones what you click or the apps u use

Who are you to be monitored? Your phone is just faulty, the OS has gone crazy due to low memory. Too much lag has made your phone respond to yesterday's clicks. You have also allowed too much chrome notifications.

Inshort, the terrible device you bought is performing what is expected to be performed in a low budget phone. Is like buying iPhone 5S in today's market. You will Stone that phone to walls when in use as a daily driver.

Advice: Avoid sites especially freebies and porns. Give your phone lesser app. Don't use standard Facebook (use lite apps).

Avoid battery saver, cleaner apps etc.

Disable bloatware. Click your phone and have patience to respond to your clicks.
