Pegasus: Data that the phone was hacked?

Date:

Internet Desk: Spyware ‘Pegasus’ … Now the name is circulating in political and government circles. Pegasus was created five years ago by the Israeli NSO for intelligence operations. However, the news that the phones of many international celebrities have been hacked due to spyware immediately caused a sensation. Experts have found out that ‘Pegasus’ has hacked the Android version of the phone and also iOS. Once inside your phone, it is very difficult to detect the presence of this spyware. Spyware attacks control your phone’s financial information, as well as your photo gallery, calls, and messages. And if your phone is infected with such spyware, you can find out through some signs.

Battery … Check apps

If your phone’s battery capacity is draining too fast, it could be considered a malware attack that uses malicious code with malicious applications. However, having too many apps running in the background can also increase battery consumption. Therefore, these applications must be checked first. I still wonder if the same problem will recur. Also be careful if you have unwanted apps on your phone without downloading them. Deleting them and re-downloading them automatically is considered a hacker or spyware attack.


Increasing data usage … Reducing phone speed …

If your smartphone suddenly slows down … If you bother to open any apps or games, there is a possibility that there is malware in the background. Also, if your data usage is higher than what is normally consumed, you should think about malware. Malicious applications or software may be using mobile data in the background. You risk tracking what you are doing.


Changing phone performance …

The performance of the phone seems unnatural. This means that you need to be careful if applications crash suddenly or crash while loading. Suppose you have websites open on your phone. If they look different from the above, they should be considered as a sign that a malware has attacked. Do not click any pop-up window that appears on the screen when you open any site. Experts warn that there is a possibility of malware infiltrating your device through pop-up windows. If you find that you have not made any text messages or calls in your phone log, you may think that you have been infected by a hacker. Messages may contain obscene language. This should be considered a sign.


In the case of flash‌ lighting‌ together with the gallery …

With the advent of smartphones, selfies, photos, and videos have become more popular. However, you should be alert if you find images in the galleries that you have not taken or received from anyone. Your phone’s camera is a sign that others are out of control. Similarly, you should be alert even if the flash light is on, even when your phone is not in use. It is natural for the phone to warm up automatically if you consume a lot of games and applications. It’s hot without using your mobile … but you have to think that hackers are attacking.
