Our phones are not vulnerable to hackers, it is as a result of ignorance of how to protect your phone that will make hacker to access it.
Before hacker can access your phone you will fall into their hands by clicking on their malicious link or downloading their fake application which will open a loop hole for them to access your phones

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.

It’s not really about phone, it’s about who is using the phone. Sometimes when hackers wants to hack you, they send things to your email address and if you’re dull enough to follow whatever they say, you’ll see the result grin

So it has nothing to do with phone.

They still have access to your phones for the most part because you give it to them for mundane pleasures.
Research has it that roughly 70% malicious wares are contracted from porn sites. The rest from gambling, ponzi and other phishing sites with shared embedded links from popular social media handles like Whatsapp.
All these US visa, Canadian Visa application bla bla bla...with shortened urls are highwaysl to getting slapped and sapped by malwares.
Be careful with what you share and reshare.

Noted. Thanks.

Human factor overrides every great technology!

Before hackers would have access to you, you must have left finger prints somewhere! It may be physical or electronically. Think about it!

No, this is a direct persecution that even involves assassination attempt on my life.

Maybe you are one of them. God will expose you all. You can't frustrate God's call upon my life. You are afraid that the evil done against me will be exposed one day if you allow me to rise in ministry. But I will rise and you can't stop me.

did u recently change the screen touch of ur phone..?

No, it's a new phone. They did the same thing with my older phone which was TECNO phantom but I played lightly on it.

It was not until 7 important transactions I was supposed to have last year was blocked I began to take it seriously.

it's quite possible he genuinely has a buggy phone that warrants being suspicious of a hack.

his first point of consult should be a phone technician.

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?

The same with me. Agencies have been monitoring my accounts. Because of Politics, some hackers from frustrated candidates hacked my accounts and installed Trojans to mirror my accounts and frustrate me.

I also have this problem my neighbor is an hacker he has access to my phone account balance, my WhatsApp messages,

To the extent that the idiot and his wife complain the way I spend my money
that I spend money everyday

He kept on complaining about my finance

They monitor my account balance even The salary I receive ,where I am at any point in time

I notice this that some time my phone will just go to camera without pressing it

I ask my self what is the main purpose for his actions but I just notice he is a gossip and this Igbo guy that want to know what is happing in every house hold


I was depress but I had to come out of it when I got married because it is not funny when someone monitor your finance and make mockery of you with others

They meet every night that I had to close my windows because sometime when they laugh I usually feel they are referring to me

I have visited my bank severally but they kept on saying that it is not possible I have also visited mtn yet no result
I changed my phone from android to iPhones , I changed my alert number with my bank I had them complained and before you no it they entered again

How did I know he has a group of friend that he discuss it with and they usually
I have not gotten a good evidence to sue him but I am trying to gather some yoruba witness but they like to get such information from him .
This is really crazy .

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.

What you need, first and foremost is medication for paranoid schizophrenia.

That aside most of these tecno, infinix phones reportedly ship with embedded malware.

Also while rooting your device, and using pirated apps exposes you further

Finally, use only utilitarian apps on your device. Every other day there is a story about how one popukaar wall paper or bling bling app or Chinese game comprised millions of devices
U meant compromised?

Why can't one find a way to know who these people are so one can take a legal action against them?

If there is a way to steal, there must be a way to catch the thief. Some of them are on this forum but they don't want people to know what they know. But everyday for the thief, one day for the owner.

I can't relate to this even though I use Androids.
You are either doing certain things wrongly or are using a phone that has a backdoor.

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.
