Some bad habits of using a cell phone:

There are many reasons why people don’t set their phone screen passwords. First, they are afraid of forgetting them due to bad memory or trouble. However, you should know that since you do not set a password, your various privacy may be leaked. For example, take Alipay as an example, when many friends use the payment function, they just open the APP directly and show the payment code. This is relatively dangerous! So phone screen password claims to be the first door of the mobile phone, locking is necessary!

4. The Application is not exited thoroughly.

The android app generally likes to stay in the background, and every time we all thought that the application is closed, it’s still running in the background, so anyone who has access to your phone can see it from the background management, so when you exit the software, remember to turn it off thoroughly.

8. Store sensitive information on your phone.

It’s bad enough not to have a password on your phone, and if you still like to store sensitive personal information on it and use it to remember things, it’s even riskier.

9. Click the handset text message and link at will.

News of cell phone poisoning is frequently reported by clicking on the SMS link at random. For instance, criminals send fraudulent text messages to users’ mobile phones to induce the user to install the Trojan or log in the phishing website, so as to obtain some information such as user post password, the fund situation and so on. So please do not randomly click on the links of winning prizes, inviting you to view the photo album, and informing you of password problems.

10. Read the QR code and scan it.
