A long time ago, the mobile phone was no longer a device with which one could make calls, but a essential device for the vast majority of tasks we can perform during the day.
On our phones we keep a certain number of personal information important enough to not keep it safe and be aware of the risks that exist “out there”.
How can we properly protect our information?
If I think about it, I couldn't say how much information about my life can be contained in my Galaxy S24 Ultra. Starting with the banking application, through the photo gallery and the Notes application, to Gmail: the bank account, passwords, phone numbers, plane tickets… And I could continue.
The truth is that I never had no problem duplicate cards, inappropriate charges to my bank account or other similar things, but I know the risk is there. No one with a minimal presence on the Internet is safe from being scammed.
That's why I always try to have my Galaxy well protected against everything malware it can be hidden. It's about getting into the habit of doing four things regularly and protecting your device and all your personal information. Here's how I do it:
- I use the Galaxy Passkey: Identity theft is one of the big problems that can affect us in this context. We now use many different content platforms where we need to register with a username and password every time we want to connect. This way the risk of password leakage increases and with Passkey I eliminate this worry. I don't need to remember passwords or write them down somewhere where they might end up lost.
- I usually make backups: It costs nothing and can save us a lot of things. If you have a Galaxy, from Settings you can activate the backup so that it happens automatically and thus have a backup if you suffer an attack.
- I only download apps from trusted sources: One of the things that I always keep in mind when downloading an application is to always do it from the official stores. Furthermore, I have Automatic blocker activated so that it scans for malware or any other threats and blocks any malicious activity that may occur suddenly.
- I use Samsung Knox: is a security platform offered by Samsung and which acts in real time 24 hours a day on all Samsung devices. Protect hardware and software securely.
- He configured Smart Anti-Tracking: Every time I enter the search engine to look for information, I have peace of mind because by having activated Smart Anti-Tracking, I know that my data is not used without my authorization.
