Much like a mobile phone virus.
1. Harms
1. Leading to user information being stolen.
Today, more and more mobile phone users store personal information on their mobile phones, such as personal address books, personal information, schedules, various network accounts, bank account numbers and passwords, etc. These important information will inevitably attract the "coveting" of some people with ulterior motives. They will write various viruses to invade mobile phones and steal users' important information.
2. Spread illegal information.
The popularity of MMS has facilitated the spread of all kinds of pornographic and illegal pictures, voices, and movies.
3. Destroy mobile phone software and hardware
The most common harm caused by mobile phone viruses is to damage mobile phone software and hardware, causing the mobile phone to not work properly.
4. Cause communication network paralysis
If a virus infects a mobile phone and forces the mobile phone to continuously send spam messages to the communication network where it is located, this will inevitably lead to information congestion in the communication network. These spam messages will eventually paralyze local mobile phone communication networks.
2. Prevention
1. Delete garbled text messages and multimedia messages.
Garbled text messages and multimedia messages may contain viruses. Delete such text messages immediately after receiving them to avoid being infected with mobile phone viruses.
2. Do not accept unfamiliar requests.
When using wireless transmission functions such as Bluetooth and infrared to receive information, you must choose a safe and reliable transmission object. If an unfamiliar device requests a connection, it is best not to accept it. Because as mentioned before, mobile phone viruses will automatically search for devices within wireless range to spread the virus.
3. Ensure download security.
There are many resources on the Internet that provide mobile phone downloads. However, some resources are bundled with viruses. This requires users to ensure that the download sites are safe and reliable when using mobile phones to download various resources, and try to avoid downloading from personal websites. .
4. Choose the background that comes with your phone.
Beautiful background pictures and screensavers are certainly pleasing to the eye, but it is not pleasant if there are viruses in the pictures, so users are best to use the pictures that come with the phone to set the background.
5. Do not browse dangerous websites.
For example, some hackers and pornographic websites are very dangerous in themselves. There are many viruses and Trojans hidden in them. It is very dangerous to browse such websites with a mobile phone.
6. Don’t click on text message links casually.
Clicking on text message links may expose your phone to phishing websites, causing your phone to be infected with viruses.
7. People who use "antique machines" can be 100% assured.
After all, not 100% of people use smart phones, but if they use "antique phones", that is, phones with black and white screens that cannot connect to WAP networks, you can rest assured that viruses cannot infect your phone.
