How to secure Android smartphone

The whole world is more on the internet than on real life. We all spend more time in the smartphone world than with the outside world. This article does not cite its references or sources. But this article is an attempt to tell you how to be careful in this internet-smart phone world. If the Internet has any enemies, it is a virus that hacks and damages devices in terms of software. Once upon a time viruses were just meant to slow down devices, but nowadays the ultimate goal of these viruses is hacking. Hacking is the act of looking at or stealing our information without our knowledge and releasing it publicly on the Internet. In the event of a burglary in the home, the object appears to be missing, and in the same Internet world we do not know if anyone is hacking our information. On a three-pronged scale, German hackers hacked into their country's voting machines and altered election results. So instead of sacrificing yourself for something like this you are trying to explain as simple as possible how you can be careful. Hopefully there will be some magical secret tips here. Strictly use what is available to us to be safe. The new secret tips are, and will not be, an actual necessity.

What are malicious attacks on the Internet? How many types?

1. Physical hacking  

Knowing the password into your phone when you are not there, open the device and check your information. Looking back or asking you as you type the password.

2. remote hacking 

A web page opened by an app you have installed on your phone that downloads unintentional malware (like malware that can drain our information and harm our device) without knowing the background.

These tips and tricks are useful to prevent such things from happening.

Passwords:

It is common to have a password for everything on the phone. Bank and social account passwords are stored on every phone. So hackers can steal these in physical or remote ways. So here you can take some precautions to prevent such a whim (scroll down)

1. Avoid saving passwords

After you log in to the mobile browser the browser will ask you if you want to store the password. You should then press NO and make sure the password is not stored. Phishing sites (duplicate sites similar to the original sites) may steal your saved passwords. Data (password & etc) is also stolen from cookies stored on the original web pages. And if you save, will anyone around you be able to log in directly to social accounts? For those who think that there is no such thing as privacy information, it is better to be careful beforehand instead of suffering later!

2. Use the strongest strong passwords

Do not use direct passwords with just a number or alpha bets if you want to be safe. Must be at least 8 characters. Remember to keep it small and simple & feel lazy that you don't have to type big every time, but you're really taking a big risk. Because you should not keep passwords that can be found by those around you as well as others (kiss name, name, date of birth, town name, favorite movie, heroine, hero name, lover names). If you want to put so much, name the lover who felt crush when you were a child but do not name the current lovers. It's not even reasonable to tell him your password, especially if the girl is her own lover. Or they may have to change passwords that they did not expect.

3. Android Built IN Security

Android OS is open source. This means that anyone can modify the source files. That is why Google Android OS comes with its own strong and secure inbuilt security system. For eg: As you can see in the password section there are different password modes. Pattern, password, fingerprint, zip code. Of these, the pattern system is the first to say that it is not secure. Alphanumeric password is the best choice for those who do not have a fingerprint scanner. But now fingerprint technology comes in all phones, fingerprint locking is the best security. While typing the password while unlocking there is no chance of anyone seeing it, over fast and easy unlocking.

Applications (Apps):

It has to be said that Android has received so much long run success due to Google Play Store. Many apps do not bore the user and a variety of apps are available for every need. However these apps can be installed not only from the Play Store but also from other websites & third party app stores. However, it is not enabled by default on your Android phone. Apps from other sources can be installed on your phone only if you have specially enabled and installed them. So malicious things (said about hacking above) can happen through apps made from other sources without you knowing. Occasionally there are malicious apps in the Google Play Store. So here you can see how to avoid getting infected .. (Scroll down)

1. Back up

Taking back up is why everyone needs it .. When a thousand of your data are attacked with a virus, some will be deleted and changed. So then it is clear that the original backed up data is safe. This backup can be stored in the cloud (Internet online storage) or hard disk / PC. There are many sites available in the cloud storage now, but you should use the ones that ask for your password protection every time. Selecting the cloud will not only keep the data safe even if your phone is lost or your laptop hard disk is deleted, but you can connect to the internet and access the data anywhere even if you do not have a PC. However, only reliable cloud storage sites / services should be used. For eg: Idrive, Sugarsync, Crashplan etc Cloud storage services / sites are good.

2. Security Options

If there are security options in the application, it is better to use them. Because even if someone can unlock your phone for a thousand, you will not be able to use the apps. While apps do not have security options, there are good app locking applications to lock apps. Overall it is called Multi Layer Security. It should never be like this. Because even if one is not known, there will be another gateway to access the data. When the phone is gone, you do not have to worry about privacy data if your apps are locked.

3. Google Play Store

Do not install apps from outside the Play Store as mentioned earlier. However there are also apps that come with some unwanted ads in the Google Play Store. This can lead to unwanted phishing sites. Better not to log in to apps that behave like that. As soon as the page is opened it will say "Your device is attacked, there is a virus". They should be closed as soon as possible but installations should not do. Before downloading an app, the developer name should look at the number of comments.

Network

The Internet is a place where a person can be connected to another person. This is the method of connecting the network. So let's enjoy the internet facility in such a network and see how it should be without sacrificing others.

1. SECURE should never be on the network

If using Wi-Fi then make sure it has a password. Or someone close to someone else can connect to the same Wi-Fi and get information from all the devices connected to it. Avoid using free Wi-Fi. Do not assume that there will not be as many conditions as hawking in your area, those who like small technology can also do small hawking in the same range. It’s hard to tell when and who has any ideas. If you use an app like HideNinja VPN, it may not be a victim. This allows your outgoing network to be encrypted with a digital signature. So no one can steal anything from what is encrypted.

2. Do not use just one account.

Create and maintain two accounts on phones or devices. One is for you and the other is for the guest account. It is now available on almost all phones. You can go to SETTINGS and go to USER section. There are apps for a similar need in the Play Store if not a thousand options. For example, SWITCHME or PARALLEL SPACE. Allready Digit Telugu readers were also informed about these two. There are also apps for creating multiple social accounts on a single device. Dual accounts are useful if two people use the same device.

3. Security Apps

There are a lot of apps that can harm the device inside or outside the Play Store. It’s hard to watch them patiently from time to time. So anti virus apps work to do the same thing. The best example of this is the AVG application. The free version of the app has good security options. For eg: Prevents you from downloading apps from unknown sources. Yet the phone will never be tracking and doing checks without harmful malware in the background on the phone. Below you will find the best anti-virus apps like this.

• AVG
• AVIRA anti virus
• Norton anti virus
• AVAST mobile security
• CM Security

When your Android phone is Lost ..

No one cares about this until the phone goes off. But if the phone is lost, our lives will be ruined if the private data in the phone is leaked. Contacts, passwords, apps, photos, videos etc are all in someone's hands. So when your phone is lost .. some apps that work on GPS SAT-NAV give you a chance to recover a stolen phone without having to worry. Provides the facility to delete all the data on the phone remotely even if it is not available. So below are the safety tips that are useful when the phone is lost.

1. ERASE the data (delete)

In case there is a chance that the lost phone will not be returned then all the data in the phone should be deleted remotely quickly. Below you will find information on how to do Google ...

However the Remote Wipe feature only deletes the device's internal storage on some phones. SD card does not delete data. To delete remotely, you need to set up Device Policy or Google Sync on your lost device / phone. You can download this app from this link by going to this link. You can see the information written by Google to set up at this link. You will not be able to install the device policy and delete the data remotely. You can easily delete remotely if you back up first.

2. Track a lost phone remotely.

For this you can use AVG security system or ‘FIND MY PHONE’ for android apps. GPS tracking uses satellite navigation to track the location of a lost phone. However the same thing can be done without any apps with the help of Google account. However, the lost phone must be connected to the Internet. Every Android phone comes with ADM (android device manager) by default. The same is used here. If you have all these, if you type "Where is my phone" in Google search, the phone location will be shown in Google Maps. Android Device Manager must be installed and enabled in the lost phone.

Final line:

The phone should be very careful before going into crowded places. All of the above should not be done in daily usage but at least all of the above should be done while going out or traveling.
