How do I know if my phone has been hacked and all my activities are being monitored?
Unusual activities on any accounts linked to the phone in question can be a sign that your phone has been tapped. If a hacker has access to your phone, they also have access to its accounts – from social media to email to various lifestyle or productivity apps. This could reveal itself in activity on your accounts, such as resetting a password, sending emails, marking unread emails that you don’t remember reading, or signing up for new accounts whose verification emails land in your inbox. In this case, you could be at risk for identity fraud, where criminals open new accounts or lines of credit in your name, using information taken from your breached accounts. It’s a good idea to change your passwords – without updating them on your phone – before running a security sweep on your phone itself.
A very sure way to know if your phone has been hacked is through your phone’s battery life. If your phone’s battery life decreases rapidly overtime, then the phone has been bugged. A bugged smartphone may start to show significant decrease in lifespan. Also, if your phone starts to malfunction; such as freezing, or apps crashing, it could be due to the malware overload. Constant pop ups that you didn’t sign up for are also indications that your phone is compromised.
