We really can't deny that mobile phones play an increasingly important role in our daily lives, and it seems that mobile phones are becoming more and more normal.
Some people once joked that their closest is the mobile phone, and you can't do without it without anything! Oh, are you like that?
But mobile phones are a double-edged sword, while facilitating our lives, they also plant a "bomb" for our privacy, why say so?
As we all know, mobile phones will download many apps to use, and APP is an important data leakage channel, such as some apps that collect user privacy will obtain users' personal information through various methods.
Therefore, when we download the APP, we should choose some well-known and reputable software, and pay attention to the permission settings to avoid giving unnecessary permissions. In addition, we can also use some privacy protection software, such as privacy browsers, VPNs, etc., to protect our personal privacy.
In addition, we should also pay attention to when using mobile phones, especially in public places, and do not access sensitive information under public Wi-Fi, such as bank card information, passwords, etc. This is because public Wi-Fi signals are not encrypted and can easily be stolen by hackers.
It is precisely because the privacy of mobile phones will be leaked through various channels, we should be more cautious when using mobile phones. For example, if the album is not cleaned up in time, it will also have an impact on personal privacy.
The first is the files in the "Downloads" folder, where various files that we download online, such as movies, music, etc., are usually stored, but some downloaded files may contain viruses or malware, which may cause the phone to be infected if not cleaned up in time.
The second is the folders such as "Photos", "Files" and so on in some social software. For example, in social software such as WeChat and QQ, we will have some chat records, voice messages, etc., if not deleted in time, it will also have an impact on personal privacy.
There are also photos and videos in the "photo album", which record our lives, including some private information, such as ID cards, bank cards, etc. If not protected, it may be stolen by hackers or others, resulting in personal privacy leakage.
In response to this, Xiaobian needs to focus on saying that if your mobile phone has these 5 kinds of photos, it is recommended not to keep them, it is best to delete them as soon as possible!
ID album
This includes personal ID cards, driver's licenses, bank cards and other sensitive information photos, if the mobile phone is stolen or hacked, these sensitive information may be leaked, resulting in fraudulent use of identity information, loss of money and other consequences.
In addition, if bank cards, credit cards and other information are stored in the document album, if the mobile phone is stolen, hackers can use this information to steal bank cards, resulting in the loss of personal property.
Memory card type albums
Now that technology is very advanced, we only need to take a picture to automatically identify long bank card numbers. If such a photo is stolen and the criminals can receive a verification code through some method, the money in your card is dangerous!
Account password memo album
Now it seems that everything needs an account password, not to mention WeChat, Alipay, etc., criminals can steal the account without knowing the password!
What's more, isn't it easier to operate after knowing the account password? In this regard, Xiaobian does not recommend that you store these important information in the photo album.
Hukou album
Although the family register is an important identification document, there are certain risks associated with storing the family register photo on your mobile phone. The household registration book contains sensitive information such as family members' ID numbers and home addresses, and once this information is leaked, it may lead to personal privacy exposure, and even cause property damage, personal safety and other issues.
Therefore, in order to protect the safety of family members, it is recommended not to store the family register photo on the mobile phone. If it is really necessary to make users oral information in certain occasions, measures such as encryption protection should also be taken to avoid unnecessary risks.
In addition, in order to prevent personal privacy leakage, it is recommended to regularly check the photos in your phone and clean up unnecessary pictures in time.
Personal privacy albums
Personal privacy albums usually refer to albums that store sensitive information such as personal private photos, videos, and chat history. If these albums are accessed by others, they may have a significant impact on personal image and privacy.
Therefore, in order to protect personal privacy, it is recommended not to store such albums on mobile phones, or at least take effective measures to protect them.
For example, you can use your phone's built-in folder lock feature or third-party privacy protection software to encrypt these albums to prevent others from accessing them.
