More and more people now use apple phones, both young people and older family members, many of whom use them daily. Many have access to the new machine, which can only be easily connected to the internet, the log-in accounts are directly used, and the mobile phone contains its own setup, which almost never looks at it。
Most people feel that the default settings for cell phones are the safest, that the manufacturers have been calibrated and that they do not have to change them. This is not the case, as the default option of partial out-of-house ownership, while being user-friendly, also conceals privacy and exposure to telecommunications fraud。
Many fraudsters use some of the default rights on their mobile phones to collect information about the location of ordinary people, the usage of accounts, the content of their mailing lists, and to fabricate their stories. Many have received accurate marketing calls, targeted fraud messages, high probability and unregulated mobile access。
There are a wide variety of online courses on mobile phone security, some saying that there are more than a dozen settings to shut down, and that ordinary users can't remember what really matters. In fact, two of the most high-risk settings in an apple phone, without a large number of one-time modifications, are easily drilled out by the outlaws if they remain open and turn them off, thus blocking the vast majority of privacy disclosure risks and reducing the probability of fraud。
Today, in plain language, you can tell us exactly what these two settings are, what the real risks are, and how to do it one step at a time. It also gives a little bit of protection from the daily use of mobile phones and helps keep your personal information and wallet safe。
Don't lose sight of it. It's a convenient set-up
Many people have no concept of privacy security for mobile phones and feel that they are ordinary people with nothing to steal. It's a very dangerous idea。
Our mobile phone contains address books, home addresses, travel trails, consumption records, photos, chat records. These scattered personal information, once collected in bulk, enables the outlaws to collide complete personal images。
Once this information is available, the fraud can be crafted with precision. If you know how your children are going to school, you pretend to be a teacher; if you buy them online, you pretend to be a passenger service to settle losses; and if you know where you're going, you'll have a variety of scenarios。
Many people are deceived and wonder why liars know their own situation. Apart from external channels of information leaking, the excessive release of mobile phones itself is an important source。
The overall protection capacity of the apple cellular system is indeed good, but some of the default functionality is designed to increase the ease of use, facilitate software delivery and synchronize data. However, if users do not exercise active control and the rights are over-released, they become channels for leaking personal information。
The web streaming of a large number of settings that need to be closed down, many of which are optional to optimize the continuation of the voyage, is not much linked to fraud or disclosure. These two things that we are focusing on today are the direct relationship information drain, the settings associated with the high risk of fraud, and the options that many users have used to keep their mobile phones on。
First hazard setup: share iphone analysis, quietly upload your usage data
A lot of people have never asked for this option, and they don't even know that there's a function on their phones. This feature is generally opened by default and most ordinary users have not been manually shut down。
The functionality was designed to collect operational logs, operating records, failure records and feed back to the manufacturer to optimize the system and repair the system bug. The starting point for this function itself is no problem, but it is for ordinary users to figure out what will be passed on after the opening。
Once the shared iphone analysis has been launched, the hand opportunity automatically uploads a large amount of data generated from daily use. This includes what software is on the mobile phone, how long the software is used, how the mobile phone works, some location information, equipment identification information。
It is mentioned in the official note that the uploaded data are treated anonymously as far as possible. It is, however, difficult for ordinary users to confirm whether there is a habit of personal use in uploading big data. Once these big amounts of data are released, when there are data flow gaps, they are acquired by third-party agencies。
Don't feel like just some use logs don't hurt. A great deal of behavioral data can be aggregated to analyze what your life is, to get up and sleep at a few points, what kind of software you often use, and what kind of content you usually focus on。
These data flow to advertising agencies, and there is a situation where a particular topic is brushed out and the various software is immediately sent for advertising. Once in the wrong hands, they can be used to target fraud. For example, the identification of users who regularly browse about financial content, the targeted delivery of false information on financial fraud, the identification of older users, the delivery of health products, and fraudulent elements of the code of conduct。
There are also many users who will start icloud analysis, which will be accompanied by iphone analysis, which will also synchronize parts of the cloud disk with logs. Both are open simultaneously, and the range of data uploads is greater。
It is important to make it clear here that the shutdown does not affect the normal access of mobile phones to the telephone, the internet, the taking of photographs, the chat, the system, the failure of mobile phones, and the absence of any negative impact on all normal daily functions。
Hand-knocking step, step by step
Pick up your apple phone, find the settings icon on the desktop, click in。
Slide the screen down, find the privacy and safety column, click in。
Slides to the bottom to see analysis and improvement, click this option。
After entering the page, the first line is to share the iphone analysis, click on the switch to the right, turn the switch to grey and represent the closure。
Below the page is the shared iclaud analysis, which also closes the switch。
After this step, the mobile phone will not automatically upload your logs and operating records。
A lot of people are done here, and there's another option on this page that needs to be noted, which is sharing iclaud analysis, and it has to be shut down. If only the former is involved, the use records associated with icloud will continue to be uploaded and the protection effects will be significantly reduced。
There was no difficulty in operating, and the elders used the apple phone, so they could do it on the path and do it in two minutes。
The second hazard setup: vital location, covert recording of all your tracks
This set-up, with fewer people known, is highly risky. Many people have no idea that their own apple phones are recorded silently where they have been, how many times they have been, and all of them are kept inside。
It's called an important position, and it's also a state of default。
This feature was designed to record your frequent location, to optimize map navigation, calendar alerts, siri suggestions, such as automatically predicting your route to and from work, and to give travel tips. The function itself is intended to enhance the experience, but the risk point is high。
Hand-to-hands is a complete record of every place you've been to, what address you've been to, what time you've arrived, how long you've stayed, how often you've been visited, all of them kept. These are very core privacy。
Although this data is stored on this machine, it is encrypted. But once your phone has been lost, or someone has broken it, others can look directly at all your movements. Your home address, your work place, your frequent mall, your hospital, all of it。
If the information leaks, the outlaws get your travel records, and they know your life patterns. Knowing when you're home and when you're out of town can be derived both from telecommunications fraud and even from real-life security concerns。
In practice, there have been cases where a cell phone has no lock password and others have been given a cell phone, which allows them to view the full trajectory and obtain key information such as a home address。
There is also a risk of leaking information about the location of a number of users whose mobile phones have entered a strange account number or whose account codes have been leaked。
Many people think that by turning off the location service, they won't record the location, which is not the case. Even if the general position switch is turned off, it is still possible to record location information in the backstage. To completely stop the record, this option needs to be specifically entered to close。
It is also necessary to make it objectively clear that closing critical positions does not render navigation software inoperable. Navigator app requires locator privileges, which allow for the normal use of map-to-trucking in a separate access to the corresponding software. Turning off the functionality is simply stopping the mobile phone system from automatically aggregating your history, and how navigation and cabling software should be used does not render the functionality ineffective。
Hands-on course. Turn off the trail
Turn on the cell phone set-up and continue to click on privacy and security。
Find the location service, click in. The location service page slides to the bottom, finds the system service, points in。
System service page, slide down, find key positions, click on。
This requires verification of the password of the cell phone lock screen or of the face id, which, when completed, will allow for full movement of the cell phone records。
Click to close the key position, pop up the confirmation box, and select to close. At the same time, you can click to clear history and delete all past locations that have been saved on your phone。
After these two steps, the system will no longer collect and keep track of your travel, and the old history will be cleaned up。
A lot of people are afraid to operate, and the navigation won't work when it's switched off, and once again, the positioning privileges of the navigation software are not controlled by this switch. If you are going to use a map for a cab, you are still in the location service, so that the map software is set up to allow location during the period of the app, without prejudice to daily travel。
Turning off two sets is good for everything? These mobile phone usages can't be ignored
The closure of the two high-risk settings above could circumvent a large source of privacy leaks and reduce the probability of exposure to precision fraud, but mobile phone safety protection could not be based on two switches. In daily use, there are certain details, which also require more care and attention in order to achieve full protection。
Don't open access to a stranger, app
A lot of software is now installed, and windows are drawn, and there are small games, small crowds of tool software that come up to get address, location, photo access. A lot of people are used to being direct。
When you get a request for permission, think about it for a second. A flashlight. Why do you need to read the address book? A simple wallpaper software, why keep getting position information. , select the right to reject。
Opens the settings, enters privacy and security, and you can view the privileges already obtained by app. No permission required, manually shut down。
Apple id is secure
Most of the data on the apple phone is tied to the id account. Even if the local set-up is fully adjusted, information such as photographs, memos, etc. In the cloud remains at risk of disclosure。
Do not give your apple id account password to anyone else and do not log in on the id account shared by strangers online. There are often free shared ids on the internet, which say they can download paid software and never log in. The entry of unknown ids is highly susceptible to the blackmail of a locked phone and the theft of personal information。
It is proposed to open the dual authentication and upgrade the account security level. The account received an unknown login reminder to change the password first。
Strange links don't matter. Strange profiles don't simply be installed
Many fraudulent text messages, chats and links to strange web sites, regardless of claims, awards or points exchange, do not go hand in hand。
Apple phones have profile functions, and some of the so-called decryption software on the internet, multiple tools, will allow you to install descriptive files. Unidentified configuration documents, once installed, will circumvent some of the system constraints, entailing privacy risks and will not be installed for non-official channels。
It's too simple to lock the password and not set anything
Many people understand locks easily and set a simple six-digit duplicate number for the screen password. Once a cell phone is lost, a simple password can easily be broken. As much as possible, set a more complex lock code, open the face id, and lock the device remotely at the first time after the phone is lost。
I'm going to make a phone safety science for my seniors
Many older users have weak ability to distinguish between mobile phone privileges and bullet windows. Once you get the cell phone, the window is allowed. When the seniors are free, they can help the elderly turn off the two hazard devices. Older people are often reminded that strange telephones are not trusted, and that transfers must be verified with their families and not be light on the internet's high-paying circuits。
A rational view of the security of a cell phone without creating panic
It's not, objectively speaking, that apple phones are not safe. On the contrary, the entire privacy protection of apple phones belongs to the first stage of the smartphone. The two settings that we are talking about today are the functions that manufacturers are defaulting on to optimize their product experience, not viruses per se, nor malicious processes。
Risks arise from sustained data collection, which, if there are data flow gaps, gives the wrong molecule an opportunity. Close these two options means voluntarily adding an additional layer of protection to their privacy。
Cellular security does not exist once and for all, and the failure to turn off two switches is 100 per cent unconscionable. Telecommunications fraud is constantly being updated, and personal information is leaking through more than a cell phone. Changes to mobile phone settings reduce risk, not eliminate all risks. Real fraud prevention, the core or the human consciousness of prevention, in cases of transfers, remittances and requests for certification codes, require additional vigilance, regardless of what the other party says。
Topical discussion
People use apple phones. Have you seen these two settings? Have you ever received harassment or fraudulent text messages that are well known to you? You are welcome to share your views in the comment area. It is felt that this practical science is helpful for you to ask for attention and to follow up on the sharing of useful dry products from mobile phone use and pit avoidance。
