How to Protect iPhone Against App Thieves
The iPhone is one of the most expensive mobile phones on the market, and the personal data it stores is highly valuable to criminals. A recent Wall Street Journal report reveals that hackers are monitoring users as they enter their passwords on the device and figuring out how to determine the code. This information can be used to reset the password on Apple ID and access all the data of a user stored in iCloud. Apple is working on updating its software to counter these tactics. There are several ways you can shield your iPhone from app thieving.
Create a strong password. Make it as difficult to guess as possible, regardless of whether you’re using Face ID, Touch ID or a numeric code with four numbers. This is the first step towards stopping a burglar from accessing your iPhone and personal information.
Check all the apps that can access your location services including camera and microphone on your iPhone. If you spot any suspicious behavior (for example, an app asking for your camera or contact list) Remove those permissions immediately. Then, you can enable two-factor authentication in the Settings app as well as in any apps that allow it. This will stop thieves from infiltrating your iCloud and downloading your personal information from the cloud.
A trusted security application can provide a wide range of complete security for your iPhone. Mobile Security by Trend Micro for instance, analyses Internet activity to detect malicious websites, adware and protects your iPhone against identity theft through social media platforms, such as Instagram. The app also safeguards your privacy and provides ads blocking features for the most reliable protection. F-Secure SAFE is a top choice for a secure iOS environment. The app offers a comprehensive security suite, which includes a vault for up to 40 photos, as well as an alert for leaks in passwords that will notify you in the event that your email password gets leaked.
