What are these applications and how to protect against them? Spying on the phone is a fact, so it's worth knowing how to deal with this problem.

Spying on the phone - safety rules!
The principle is simple. You should especially watch out for applications with "tracking" or spy in their name. These may be combinations of many programs that steal our data: sensitive information, logins, passwords, etc. The infamous list also includes the recently popular FaceApp application. It has been a real sensation lately, offering the possibility of a "photo time machine".
Be careful on the web!
Spying on the phone is a fact, but we ourselves can protect ourselves from this to some extent: Here are 5 rules of online security:
- Install only what you need,
- Do not click on unknown links, do not install unknown programs,
- Check the source of the application,
- Never provide data that is not required,
- Use anti-virus, anti-spyware software.
Social media in our lives!
We want to be close to what is important to all of us. It cannot be denied that social media plays an important role in our lives. Despite the fact that several years have passed since the appearance of Facebook on the market - Facebook is still the most frequently chosen social networking site by us. Instagram comes in second. On our website, we often discuss topics related to the operation and functioning of social media. We encourage you to read one of our recent publications: Live Streaming - Facebook Tightens the Rules!
