According to the expert, SMS messages that do not carry any meaning can indicate that a device has been hacked. These may also be messages about changing the password without the user's knowledge.

A simple, and therefore insecure password on a smartphone, following an unknown link, as well as ignoring the signals of an antivirus program can lead to such a situation.

To protect Myasoedov, he advised installing an official antivirus and VPN in the gadget for secure connection to public Wi-Fi networks. But first of all, reset the smartphone to factory settings.

If you have the slightest suspicion that your phone is compromised, contact your mobile operator to record calls and Internet sessions. Match the data to your actions.
