The world of cybercrime is much like the world of technology itself. Every year brings new trends, new innovations, and new tools.
Many people don't know that, but cyberattacks aren’t exclusive to your computer. Your smartphone and your tablet are vulnerable too. In fact, cybercriminals see them as the next frontier. 

The Smartphone as Espionage Device
When you think about it, smartphones are equipped with an arsenal of monitoring equipment: multiple microphones and cameras are designed to absorb audio and video. While these tools may be useful for creating media, they are also a goldmine for for hackers and spies. 

Smartphones are ideal devices for hacking and spying. Intelligence agencies can tap your phone and request information, or hackers can break in and turn on your microphone and camera. Be aware of this. 

Smartphone Identity Theft
Moreover, identity thieves use phishing as a means to gain access to phones. Seemingly harmless links that carry with it harmful malware are sent as a text message or an email to the victim. Upon clicking on them, these links download information from your phone and broadcast it to devices operated by the identity thieves or store it in a distant server, and use it for malicious purposes.  

With access to payment apps, emails, photographs, financial sites and other sensitive data, the criminal can use it to steal money or blackmail and threaten the victim. 

The smartphone is the most important device in many people’s lives, which is why it’s incredibly important to make sure it’s properly secured.
Make sure you are aware of the threats out there. Don’t let criminals take over your phone and your life.
