This happen when you download a malware app and install for your phone. Make sure you always read app reviews before installing it.

I heard your information can be gotten from loan apps majorly apart from apps on your phone.
Till now as I speak,hackers have never allowed me to rest with various hack links that come in msg and fake messages from MTN and other advert messages which I delete.
I think this problem comes legally from inbuilt manufacturer spyware from phone manufacturers like.infinix and Tecno and also comes from the information you gave our legally to loan apps which now know your number and all.
It's as easy as this oooo

If I'm using iPhone for Whatsapp can they hack my WhatsApp sir?

Which one is “iphone for WhatsApp “?

Download only WhatsApp or Business WhatsApp and only from the official playstore.

Any other WhatsApp wannabe app is opening the door for unauthorized access

This is the same method the use in hacking people's social media accounts. They wi just send the malware in form of a link and as soona s you click on it they have taken over your account.

When you change your phone number at a regular basis,the number used for some social media you don't use it again..when you click on all advert that has to do with money our greed not knowing that its an application to hack ones data...using someone's phone to open your Facebook account not knowing that some people's phone saves ones password automatically...we ourselves are the problem to ourself..we open ourself to be hacked .We expose our data...so no one hacked can hack you without you been exposed to them. today at the ATM stand a particular man gave me his phone to see if they have not deducted money from him with his account balance I saw..still he was still saying it out again...so do you think he can't be hacked or his phone stolen from him?? So we are the ones to be blamed....

Google “Xiaomi Backdoor” and make your opinions afterwards.

Xiaomi is a chinese brand.

There are certain requirements by the Chinese government which they must adhere too.

Why do you think USA fought Huawei and is currently fighting TikTok?
USA na hypocrite.. they fought Huawei because Huawei was the top brand in phones in the US. They are fighting TikTok because it's the number 1 app even in the US. I just Google Xiaomi backdoor and nothing happened. Hauwei, vivo, and others are making great products. Even the so called iphone are assembled in china, they semi Chinese branded if you reason that way. All the iphone or apple products chipset are manafuctrd by TSMC, a company in Taiwan lol .

Psoul:


You guys just keep talking with lots of ignorance.
No matter the quality of your device, hackers will still attack and even succeed if you are ignorant of security tips of your device and internet.
If you do not do what will give a hacker access to your device, they will never succeed unless they have physical contact with your device.

Be careful of sites you visit.
Be sure of links u click on.
Be sure of apps you download and their sources.
Update ur apps and device as soon as new updates come up
Do not leave your device with people to operate anyhow.

Even with your almighty iPhone, if you are careless with the above, hackers will mess you and the phone up.
Sorry Bro, but na android u de use?

I am so shocked at the ways hackers get easy access to one's phone. Why can't manufacturers produce phones with protective features? Why is our phones so vulnerable to attacks by internet fraudsters to the point that they can delete some of your files.

And we don't have people who can give useful suggestions on how to protect one's phone.

You use VPN, they still bypass it.

You try other apps to block them, they still get access.

Is phone technology getting useless?

The cons seems to outweigh the pros.

I need expert advice.

A leading ministry has sponsored hackers to monitor me for more than 10 years now. Though, I just discovered last year.

They have blocked most of the transactions that would have translated to wealth for over a decade now.

Who can give me useful suggestions?

Human factor overrides every great technology!

Before hackers would have access to you, you must have left finger prints somewhere! It may be physical or electronically. Think about it!

Hacking isn't as easy as most people think. The truth is, most so-called hacking (which are just basic phishing attempts) occur because you give the attacker permission. For example using the same password for your bank app, Facebook account and that random site that needed you to create an account. The attacker does not need to hack your cloud/bank account. They just need to steal info from that random site and if you happen to use same details everywhere, they can gain access.

Also..not every app you must to download. Some apps come with clipboard hijackers. They simply send informations you copy to your clipboard to attackers. Lastly, which is the main phishing attempt...clicking on infected links, downloading that pirated movie or app, is one of the ways you give permission to be attacked.

You shouldn't be complaining at all for the type of phone you're using. Ask yourself why those products are not in a well developed country that takes things serious? You can never find it in US, UK and other countries like them. Besides, anything cheap comes with it's prices. Now you're paying yours. Use iphone or Samsung and make sure you don't download all those games, stupid apps. Keep the phone just with the default apps, do not download other app other than Whatsapp, Facebook and Co. Then have another phone for purpose of gaming and all that. That's what I do. My iPhone is secured. All my bank transactions carries out on my iphone and I only use WhatsApp on it. My other phone have games on it, I don't care if that got hacked because no meaningful thing on it and I factory reset it often time.

Buy a real phone.

If it is the cheapest iPhone, get it. Let me say this again. Buy an iPhone. If you must use an android, get a Samsung or any other major brand. Do not buy Tecno, Infinix, Itel or any other android that ships with factory spyware.

Any phone manufacturer that doesn’t take privacy seriously is just a brick manufacturer.

The volume of malware on phones in Nigeria is alarming.

The main culprits are Tecnos and Infinix. They come with malwares right out of the box and there is little you can do about it.

Dont use easybuy.

Don’t download loan apps.

Don’t use the same browser that you use for everything for porn or other illicit sites.

Dont click on funny links.

Dont use tiktok.

I use a nokia android... Is it safe.




It's high time dz bloody brand makes me their brand ambassador.. How do i keep using d same brand since i was a kid...

They still have access to your phones for the most part because you give it to them for mundane pleasures.
Research has it that roughly 70% malicious wares are contracted from porn sites. The rest from gambling, ponzi and other phishing sites with shared embedded links from popular social media handles like Whatsapp.
All these US visa, Canadian Visa application bla bla bla...with shortened urls are highwaysl to getting slapped and sapped by malwares.
Be careful with what you share and reshare.

Hackers don't have easy access to your phones rather you give them full access to your phone.

When Last did you read terms and conditions before downloading and installing an app?

90% of apps you use have permission to access your files, locations and make changes. You granted the permission.

Many of you don't pay for subscription but rather prefer to use HA Tunnel and hat files to cheat on network providers but not concerned about the disadvantages.

Do you know how many people use HA tunnel?
Do you think they make there money just from ads?

Andriod is cheap but you need to understand that it has developer settings for a reason.

Terms and conditions of tiktok on Andriod is not same for IOS, windows and Mac. You can't use whatsapp on windows unless you scan it, snapchat, tiktok etc has no windows version for a reason not because they can't build but because Microsoft knows what those app can do.

Nigerians are funny, some are even recommending iPhones. Is iPhone unhackable or what? If you like use the same phone or OS as Joe Biden and install the whole antivirus software in the world it doesn't prevent your phone from being hacked. Securing your phone from being hacked starts with you the user, not the phone itself. Those loggers, spyware, malware, etc on your phone didn't fall from heaven and find their way into your phone. You unknowingly installed them yourself. When you keep clicking on phishing and data harvester links, what do you expect?
