*14 Signs Your Smartphone Has Been Hacked*
- Your smartphone or tablet seems slower than before
- Your device is sending or receiving strange text messages
- New apps are installed on your device–and you didn’t install them
- Your device’s battery drains more quickly than before
- Your device is hotter than before
- Websites appear somewhat different than before
- Some apps stop working properly
- An increased use of data or text messaging (SMS)
- Your cell-phone bill shows unexpected charges
- “Pop-ups” appear on your device–and they never appeared before
- Your email from the device is getting blocked by spam filters
- Your device is attempting to access “bad” sites
- You are experiencing unusual service disruptions
- Data breaches and/or leaks
If you suspect that your phone is infected, run mobile anti-malware software (preferably run more than one vendor’s offering) and remove any apps that you do not recognize. If possible, wipe the device, restore factory settings, and reinstall apps from trusted appstores. Obviously, use Internet security software on your device going forward. If you are concerned that the device has been rooted by malware, show it to a professional.
