"Your mobile phone is a treasure trove of personal and confidential information. That's why it's a prime target for hackers who want to compromise or steal your data. Through malicious apps and websites, phishing attacks, and other threats, an attacker can gain control of your device through spyware. But how can you tell if your phone has been hacked or tapped?"
"1. Battery drains more quickly than usual. Any spyware installed on your phone is constantly running to snoop on your activity and send the data to the hacker. This means that your battery is going to drain faster than usual. Be aware of any unusual drops in your battery charge. Check your phone's battery settings to see if the level is falling more dramatically."
Mobile phones contain extensive personal and confidential information and therefore attract attackers aiming to compromise or steal data. Attackers gain control of devices through malicious apps, compromised websites, phishing attacks, and spyware. Spyware runs continuously to monitor activity and exfiltrate data. Key observable signs include faster-than-normal battery drain, slower device performance and app crashes, alerts about unfamiliar logins that may indicate credential misuse, and unexpectedly decreased available storage. Users should monitor battery and storage levels, track app launch and response times, and change passwords immediately if suspicious login notifications appear.
