Do not use unknown apps
One of the most important things that you have to do to stay safe is to install only trusted apps! How can you do this? Well, before installing an app make sure that the providers and sources are trusted and check them out on the App Store and Google Play.Â
“Cellphone users can risk exposure to viruses, malware, and other online threats in many ways. Always use trusted app providers from trusted sources such as the App Store or Google Play. Jailbreaking your phone is one of the biggest risks to malware and other potentially dangerous viruses,” explained Braden Perry, a litigation, regulatory, and government investigations attorney and Kennyhertz Perry, LLC.
For those who are unfamiliar with the term ‘jailbreaking your phone’, it’s the process of bypassing restrictions on iPhones and iPads to install other apps and tweaks not approved by Apple.
