Which Is Safer Iphone Or Android?

Like the apple macs, generally as a more independent company focused on just supporting their own devices, you would generally find that Iphones are less likely to be affected by malware. However, the ability to have better privacy does tend to be with Android allowing more flexible options for shutting down unneccessary access to hardware for apps that don't need them. Overall, there really isn't a perfect answer. But with the right software & configuration, you will be safer & more private on an android phone.

How Do I Know If A Text Message Is From A Legit Company?

We often do see random text messages come in from seemingly legitimate sources like tolls, the post office or paypal claiming that money is owed or packages are ready for collection. More than often, these are phishing attempts to try to get you to access malicious websites. The biggest giveaway to any of these text messages is the inclusion of a web link. Never click a weblink unless you are 100% confident in the authenticity of the sender. In almost every scenario, even if you are unsure, there are other methods that are more trustworthy to resolve issues. The first is to make direct contact to the company of concern by looking up their number. If the issue is real, this would often be able to be confirmed by an operator. Also, if you have an account with company, ie. Australia Post, you can often check online via their website or app for up to date & accurate information.

My Phone Has Been Hacked. What Can I Do?

Phones generally have a natively more secure operating environment. Unlike computers which work with individual files & programs which can be manipulated, modified & come from all sorts of locations, a phone is generally app driven. This means that more often than not, in order to get new software installed on your device, it has to go through a screened app store. Therefore, generally it is a lot harder to hack a phone.

But not impossible... There are more sophisticated methods of exploiting phones such as phishing, browser hijackers, local network attacks, geolocation tracking & more. So if you suspect your phone may be compromised, it is very important to get it checked out by a professional.
