Cybersecurity: Indications that your smartphone has been bugged or is being watched

Battery drainage, sluggish responses and weird pop-ups are among signs

Does your phone behave strangely? Here are seven signs that your gadget may be hacked or under monitoring. Remember to exercise caution and take action if you observe any strange conduct.

  1. Battery drainage abnormality
    Keep an eye on how your phone’s battery performs. If it drains faster than usual or requires regular charging, bad code from suspected viruses or fraudulent programs could be to blame.
  2. Unexpected overheating.

While phones naturally heat up over extended usage, sporadic overheating with no apparent explanation may suggest unauthorized control by hackers.

  1. Unusual activity on related accounts.
    Check your linked accounts for any unusual posts or inability to send/receive emails. These warning indicators may indicate a security breach and a potential hacker compromise.
  2. Slow response time.
    If your smartphone has become slow, acting sluggish, and consuming excessive resources and battery life, it is possible that hidden spyware is running in the background.
  3. Look for unusual phone behavior, such as frequent app crashes, failures to load, random reboots, shutdowns, or wake-ups without user input. These could be signs of ongoing malware processing.
  4. Beware of suspicious pop-ups and notifications, including phony virus alerts and threatening communications. If you receive strange push notifications, your phone may be infected with adware that requires user interaction to perform its functions. Avoid tapping on these messages.
  5. Review your list of apps.
    Check your smartphone’s app list on a regular basis and uninstall any unidentified apps, as they may contain malware. Always download programs from reliable sources.
  6. Sudden increase in mobile data consumption.
    Track your mobile data use. A sudden surge over typical levels could signal that dangerous programs or software are using data in the background.
  7. Unidentified photographs are in your gallery.
    If you come across photographs or videos in your gallery that you don’t remember taking, proceed with care. This could indicate that someone has illegal access to your camera.
  8. Check text messages or call logs.
    Keep an eye out for communications with unusual symbols or character combinations, as well as calls made by someone other than you. These could indicate a probable phone breach.
  9. To secure your digital presence, be aware of these warning signs and take appropriate action.
