3 Security Risks On Your Phone You May Not Know About

 By Vaibhav Jain on June 14, 2019       

Smartphones make life convenient. Today, phones let you shop, control home lighting, and bank from the palm of your hand.

But that convenience comes with security risks. Phones contain so much personal data that cybercriminals often exploit mobile devices to gain access to bank accounts and home networks.

Want to keep your phone safe? Here's three security risks to smartphone users you may not be aware of.

1. Open or Unsecured Wifi

Most of us access the internet on the go on our smartphones to avoid going over our data limits. But we don't think about is that the connection we're accessing may not be safe. 

A security experiment by V3 proved this when three British politicians had their PayPal, social media and VoIP connections hacked.

How can you avoid getting hacked?

1. Stay off of free wifi as much as possible.

2. Don't access personal info like bank accounts when using free wifi services.

3. Use a VPN when connecting to open wifi networks to keep hackers from accessing data

2. Social Engineering

Webroot defines social engineering as "the art of manipulating people so they give up confidential information."

 An IBM study discovered mobile users are three times more likely to become victims of phishing attacks (a form of social engineering).

One way cybercriminals often fool people is through email. Because personal and business email is often viewed in the same inbox, it is easier for victims to mistake an email sent to their business email address with a personal one.

Social engineering emails often appear to come from a legitimate company you do business with. These emails contain links that redirect you to a site that looks similar to a company's official website.

Common signs of phishing emails include:

4. Misspelled words and poor grammar

5. Asking you to verify your password or financial information

6. The email is addressed to a different email address than yours If you are the victim of a phishing attack, you can report it to the IC3, a division of the FBI that deals with cyberfraud.

3. Data Leakage on Mobile Dating Apps

Mobile apps often collect tons of unnecessary data about you and sells it to advertisers and dating apps are perticulaly agressive on the data they collect and how it is used. According to a recent investigation by ProPrivacy.com, collect and store all the data you provide as well as any content, like messages, made in the app. Many dating apps also keep tabs on your location and retain all your messages and personal information long after you close your account. For example, the dating app Grinder clearly states in their privacy policy that "when you send an instant message (which may include photos or location) to other users... we will retain the messages."

Even worse, when a user signs up for the popular app Tinder, they may unknowingly give the company the right to store, use, or edit personal information and even publish that information on other sites or in online search results. If you want to date online, keep the personal information you provide through dating sites to a minimum and don't use apps with perticularly liberal privacy policies.

4. Fake Apps

Mobile apps provide an easy way for cybercriminals to install banking trojans or access your home network. According to McAfee, banking trojans increased by 77% in 2018. To stay protected, don't install any device outside of your phone manufacturer's app store.

Wrapping It Up
Only you can protect yourself from getting hacked. Follow the tips above to keep your personal information out of the hands of hackers.

A Deeper Insight on Data Archiving

 By Vaibhav Jain on June 11, 2019       

Data archiving is becoming more and more popular with businesses and companies. Basically, it is a process of transferring not-so-frequently-used data to a separate storage location for future uses. This way, data archiving ensures that your data remains intact and safe even when you do not use it frequently.

Undoubtedly, businesses deal with enormous amounts of data daily. However, not all the information is useful. To avoid any loss of evidences, facts and figures; companies prefer to archive their data such that it can be used at a later stage if needed.

Things to Remember For Data Archiving

• Compliance

The foremost thing that one needs to remember when it comes to choosing archive software is that the data must stay compliant with data retention policies even when it is archived. More often than not, each company has its own set of policies when it comes to data archiving. These need to be taken care of right from the beginning.

• Storage Medium

Where the data is stored is one of the most important components involved in data archiving. Businesses often choose to store their data in disk, tape or cloud. However, more and more organizations are shifting to cloud storage as this forms a more dynamic and flexible solution.

• Copies

It is always recommended to store data at more than a single location or platform. This will make sure that the data you want to archive is always available and is never compromised on. As most of the data is stored in the cloud, it is a good practice.

• Data Knowledge

Having in-depth knowledge of the data in question is of utmost importance. As the owner, you must be aware of the type and properties of the data. This is essential because such knowledge will help you in judging which data is to be archived. This will help you in ensuring that only the relevant data is available

• Data Retention Provider

Once you have confirmed that certain data is to be archived, the next step is to choose the right cloud provider. It is highly recommended to check the standards of the cloud backup provider. An organization which has experience in this field should be preferred as it can prove to be precious if there is ever a scenario of data loss. Experience always comes in handy!

• Integrity

Just archiving the data is not sufficient. It is also important to keep a constant check on the integrity of the data. The reason for this is pretty simple. As the data is stored and not used regularly, there is always a chance that such data might lose its integrity if kept unchecked. Therefore, you must keep a tab on the archived data from time to time in order to make sure that data integrity is intact.

Finally, data archiving is not the same as data backup. While data backup is generally used for data protection in case of data loss, data archiving allows appropriate retention of data.

• The Wrap Up

While it is important for the companies to archive the data from time to time, it is equally important to ensure that the data that is archived is properly stored and maintained.
