How to Identify Mobile Hacking and Protect Your Digital Life: Tips from Techflix CEO Nasim Rana Masud

How to Identify Mobile Hacking and Protect Your Digital Life: Tips from Techflix CEO Nasim Rana Masud With the world becoming increasingly connected, mobile phones have become a vital part of business, finance, politics and everyday living. While smartphones have sped up personal and professional operations, they have also opened the door to increasing cyber threats. Techflix CEO Nasim Rana Masud in a comprehensive cybersecurity guide published in the leading national daily Jugantor, explained the key warning signs of a compromised smartphone and shared important steps to safeguard personal and business devices. When a phone is hacked, the hacker can get at everything inside it – your location, personal contacts, active calls and private messages. In extreme cases, hackers can even listen to nearby voices or access front and rear cameras without your knowledge. 6 Ways To Tell If Your Phone Has Been Hacked The quicker a security breach is identified, the less damage can be caused. Here are six signs your mobile device might be compromised, according to expert analysis published in recent Bangladeshi tech entrepreneur news: 1. Battery Drains Too Quickly If your phone is suddenly using up battery life much faster than normal, don’t immediately point the finger at old hardware. Check your battery usage settings for apps that are using power and make sure auto-optimization is enabled. If it continues to drain quickly on normal settings, there is probably spyware or other unwanted background activity running. 2. Unusual device behavior If you experience unexpected slowdowns, frequent pop-ups, programs opening on their own or increases in mobile data use, you’ve got background malware or remote control. 3. Overheating Too Much If a third party gains remote access to your device, the heavy background processes can cause serious strain on your RAM and storage, making the phone overheat even when not in use. 4. Poor Voice Quality and Echoing Calling If your call quality suddenly drops or you hear strange echoes during calls, even if you have good network coverage, then your device could be affected by voice tracking or interception tools. 5. Strange foreign calls or texts coming in If you are getting an unusual number of calls or text messages from unknown foreign numbers, that’s a good indication that cybercriminals are probing for targets. Of special concern are calls where no one speaks or texts with suspicious links. 6. Unrecognized Images Stored in Your Gallery If you see images in your photo gallery that you didn’t take or download/receive via messaging apps, it’s a clear sign that someone has been remotely accessing your device or downloading things in the background without your permission. Must-Have Preventive Measures to Protect Your Mobile Device Prevention is better than cure. Techflix CEO Nasim Rana Masud also shared some actionable tips to secure your phone, financial accounts and personal information: Avoid Malware and Suspicious Files: Be very cautious when downloading media files or gaming apps from third-party sites. Downloading files from untrusted sources may silently install spyware, Trojan horses, or Remote Access Trojans (RATs) that grant hackers full control over your device. Beware of Phishing Links: Never click on links you receive via SMS, MMS or instant messaging apps from unverified or unknown senders. Attackers still rely heavily on phishing as a vector to deliver malware. Be very careful when using public Wi-Fi. If you connect to a public Wi-Fi network that isn’t secured, someone can intercept your data traffic. Avoid logging into sensitive financial accounts or accessing them on a public network. Only download apps from trusted sources – always download apps from official app stores such as Google Play or Apple App Store. When installing applications, review the permissions they request and choose “Don’t Allow” or “Ask Every Time” for sensitive permissions such as location, microphone, and camera. Use Secure Browsers and Do Not Use Auto Login Use good, highly secure web browsers such as Google Chrome for Android devices. Also, turn off the 'auto-login' feature for sensitive accounts on your mobile browser; if your device is compromised, stored auto-login credentials can make it easy for hackers to access your bank accounts and sensitive data.
