Have you ever been phone hacked?

We have beeen reading about hackers and it brought to my mind the fact that I had never thought that my iphones can also be hacked, so I decided to take precautions and here I share with you some tips I found:

What’s a smartphone owner to do?

• Don’t leave your phone unattended in a public place.
• Be sure to change the default password that comes with a new phone to something more complex (resist the usual “1234,” “0000” and 2580)
• Avoid using unprotected Bluetooth networks and turn off your Bluetooth service when you aren’t using it.
• Use a protected app to store pin numbers and credit cards, or better yet, don’t store them on the phone at all.

• Avoid accessing important locations such as bank accounts via public Wi-Fi that may not be secure.
• Turn off your auto complete feature so critical personal data isn’t stored on the phone and must be re-entered every time you need it.
• Regularly delete your browsing history, cookies and cache so your virtual footprint is not available for prying eyes.

Many students limit their view to the opportunities that are easily available, readily accessible, and most traditional. They never take even one step out of their comfort zone as they look at the list of high school courses and decide what to take. Check this video and answer the  questions:
