The iPhone is the most expensive consumer mobile phone on the market and also holds personal data that are valuable to criminals. A recent Wall Street Journal report reveals that hackers are watching users enter their passwords on the device, learning how to determine the code. This information can be used to reset the password on Apple ID and gain access to all of the user’s information within iCloud. Apple is working on updates to thwart these techniques. There are several ways that you can secure your iPhone from snatchers of apps.
Begin by setting up a strong passcode. Make it as difficult to guess as is possible regardless of whether you’re using Face ID, Touch ID or a numeric code with four numbers. This is the first step towards making sure that a thief is not able to gain access to your iPhone and personal data.
Then, look through all the apps that have access to your location services, camera, microphone and other features on your iPhone. If you observe any suspicious activity (for example an app asking for access to your contacts list or camera), remove these permissions immediately. Then, you can enable two factor authentication in the Settings app and all apps that allow it. This will stop a burglar from infiltrating your iCloud and downloading your personal information from the cloud.
A trusted security application will provide a comprehensive security for your iPhone. Mobile Security by Trend Micro, for instance, analyzes Internet activity to detect malicious websites, adware, and protects your iPhone against identity theft on social media platforms such as Instagram. It provides the best protection by protecting your privacy and preventing ads. F-Secure SAFE is an excellent choice for a secure iOS environment. The app offers a comprehensive security suite, including vaults that can hold up to 40 photos as well as a password leak alert which will notify you in the event that your email password gets leaked.
