Hackers gain easy access to your phone because some users are very ignorant. They click on unknown links or download files that have virus. How can a manufacturer prevent hackers from hacking your phone/PC when you are the one that is always giving them access ?

Is this post a joke or what?

Anyway, since I dumped anything Infinix, Tecno or itel many years ago, I've never experienced such things like malware or virus or any related shiii

Get yourself a proper android device or an ios

And what exactly do you do that would make you become the target of so many cyber attacks? Because I don't think the average person has your kind of experience

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

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.

Phones are always easy for them to access cos most people do store and save login details and passwords on apps and applications entered on the phone

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 Xiaomi, it's the best.. security update always... Android any day for me

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?

Hackers have ways of sending subtle links on Whatsapp group chat or by text sms they can do alot with your co-operation but can do less without it.Verify every link before clicking on it.Avoid charging your phone in public places without locking it up most especially if you're sure you can't wait until it fully charged because someone can dial some codes on your phone that will leave you vulnerable to hackers and fraudsters.You may need to verify all apps on your phone whether they are apps that were there before your phone was hacked.

Since you are a novice, the best advice I can give you is to change your phone... You have mistakenly downloaded a Malware on that phone or clicked on an unknown links and with that, it is easy to monitor you or track your activities. If I were to be around you, I would have resolved it for you as a cybersecurity analyst.

Please, what about Nokia devices? I've always used Nokia phones, but no one is mentioning it

Also, is it true that iPhones can't use WhatsApp, or there are some apps that can't open on iPhones but can open on other phones!?

What you need, first and foremost is medication for paranoid schizophrenia.

That aside most of these tecno, infinix phones reportedly ship with embedded malware.

Also while rooting your device, and using pirated apps exposes you further

Finally, use only utilitarian apps on your device. Every other day there is a story about how one popukaar wall paper or bling bling app or Chinese game comprised millions of devices

Op, pls buy an iPhone n update to the latest OS.

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.

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.
