How to Protect Privacy of iPhone, Android Phone and Messaging App
Protecting your privacy online is a must. To do this, you want to use the best security possible. But possessing good knowledge on what threats there are is also a massive advantage to yourself and your privacy.
A common tactic used by hackers is what is known as ‘spoofing’. This method is where a fraudulent message is sent, via a messaging app or email, that can give access to the attacker. These can be dangerous, infecting a device with malware, but with an idea of how they work, you can easily avoid them.
These emails will try to pose as people you trust, or major companies, such as banks, or often government departments. However, they will hold different emails. If the email says it is from the Health Department but the email address reads ‘[email protected]’, it is fair to assume that it is not genuine.
If an email worries you, claiming to be from someone you know, such as a colleague at work, but you are not sure if it is genuine, the best solution is to simply send a separate email, asking to clarify if the message was sent by them. If they say no, you know you have stopped someone from trying to scam you.
Whilst software and hardware do the majority of the heavy lifting when it comes to cyber security, making sure you know what to look out for can really help protect your privacy.
We approach security assuming the worst — that your device has been hacked and your connection isn’t secure — then we neutralize those threats. Our zero-trust security model means giving you the best protection on the device, the application, and the connection.
The entire SKY ECC platform is built to do one thing — protect your messages and your privacy.
