Software developers don’t spend days looking for new ways to dump their
Internet data package faster than they can use it. Believe us when we
say that the updates sent to you are more for your good than for your
satisfaction. If you take the time to read the change logs of many
updates you get, you will find that there are promises to eliminate
errors and, sometimes, bug fixes. In fact, a vulnerability has been
discovered in the software and this update is there to make these
problems disappear. If you do not install this update as quickly as it
is delivered, you always run the risk of not being immune to attacks
caused by such vulnerability.
Stay away from public Wi-Fi connection
Sounds difficult, but you’ll understand why, if you let us explain.
Public Wi-Fi networks are not encrypted, which means that anyone with
good access can see what they are doing on the network. The chances of
being a victim of an unscrupulous individual increase if you connect to
an unauthorized Wi-Fi network (for example, a hacker floating in an
“A1RPORT” network to get away from the main real network). With the
access they get, they can not only see the websites they visit, but also
the information they enter. This means that all your bank IDs, account
passwords and mentions that you entered while using the network are
saved. We do not need to tell you how this can be used against you. If
you need to use public Wi-Fi, download an Android VPN to encrypt your
Internet traffic and protect yourself permanently.
Verify application permissions
Since the introduction of Android 5 Lollipop, Google allows users to
verify what permissions their applications have and which ones they are
not comfortable with. It is not just a formality, but something that
could improve the safety of your units. Explore all the applications on
your phone to make sure you don’t give them more access than necessary.
For example, it is understandable that the messaging application needs
access to your contacts, but we don’t know why a game you have installed
might need the same. Verify these connections and limit applications
only to needs.
