Hackers primarily target smartphone or any other gadget to make money.
Except for the government hackers, all hackers have only one goal, to make money.
They will be after your personal information, banking logins and passwords and credit card numbers.
But here are six other terrifying hacks for you to get paranoid about:
#1.
Hackers can eavesdrop on your calls
Hackers can spy on you 247.
Using fake cellular base stations, hackers can intercept, listen to, and even record your voice calls.
Hackers can hold your phone ransom
Now a days, the latest rage is ransomware.
Hackers can infect your smartphone with ransomware and hold it for ransom till you pay for it.
Often this includes blackmailing you with threats to report you to the FBI/authorities for possession of child pornography.
The app may be a hidden spy cam and can take photographs of your surroundings throughout the day.
This can include sensitive images like your setup screen, your documents, or your checks.
The technology is calledPlaceRaider, and was developed by the U.S. military.
But, now a days, it is being used by cyber criminals to perfection.
In this way they can record your chats and emails and even your passwords.
They can also use your smartphone to send spam and malware to other users.
This masks their trail but points law enforcement inyourdirection.
iPhone, Blackberry, and Android are all vulnerable.
The NSA can access your contact lists, text messages, notes, and personal information.
Phones are getting smart and hackers, unfortunately, are getting even smarter.
