Phone Hack
A phone hack refers to the unauthorized access, manipulation, or control of a mobile phone or its data by a third party.
This can happen through various methods, including:
- Malware: Malicious software (e.g., viruses or spyware) that can be installed on the phone, often without the user’s knowledge, to steal information, track activity, or even control the device remotely.
- Phishing: Attackers may attempt to trick the phone owner into giving up sensitive information, such as login credentials or personal data, by pretending to be a legitimate service.
- SIM Card Swapping: Hackers can deceive mobile carriers into transferring a phone number to a new SIM card, which they can use to intercept calls, texts, and two-factor authentication codes.
- Exploiting Vulnerabilities: Hackers might exploit security flaws in the phone’s operating system or apps to gain unauthorized access to the device.
