Why Do Hackers Have Easy Access To Our Phones by Ken4Christ: 11:11pm On Jan 05, 2023
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?

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.

watchout for files on memry cards...dats wher they likely come from
check inbuilt apps...disable (if u cant removel) anyone u dont like/need
ignore popup ads..
careful about MOD apps..be sure of the source if u must install

I don’t think you’re a target of sophisticated attacks like Zero day attack ,DDOS or factory installed back door .

As said above ,it’s probably a bad phone ,malware installed from online links or through social engineering like your close friends . The best thing is to reset your phone factory settings or buy a new phone .

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.

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 believe Iphones would offer better and stronger protection. Since your work is important, you should save for an Iphone
