Be alert immediately if you see these signs, maybe your smartphone has been infected with malicious code, your bank account has the ability to ‘fly without wings’

Phone runs out of battery fast, or the machine is constantly hot

The first sign is that the phone’s performance is worse than usual. If apps take too long to load or randomly crash, your phone may have been hacked. Another sign is that the battery is draining too quickly. Since the malware is running in the background, the infected app will need more power and it comes from the battery on the device.

Also, if you’re not on an unlimited data plan and notice that you’re running out of data for the month earlier than usual, this could be a result of malware running in your phone.

If you see a lot of pop-up ads displayed on the phone screen, your smartphone has malicious code. The malicious code will generate income for the hacker behind these ads.

Therefore, if in doubt, search for a highly rated antivirus app and install it to find the culprit. After scanning, the application will give you some suggestions for you to follow. If it suggests deleting an app, do so even if you don’t want to.

There are different types of malware and most of them can attack your wallet

If you have tried the above methods and the problems do not go away, you should use the factory reset feature on the device. Also, make sure to back up your files and data before doing so. Having a hacked phone is a pretty serious matter that can lead to your bank account quickly “flying away”.

There are many types of malicious code such as adware that will automatically display ads on the phone to generate income for hackers. Some other types of malware can control the phone remotely, taking over the camera and features. Others sign up for paid services (usually messaging services) without your knowledge or request. There are also types designed for hackers to break into banking applications to steal victim money.
