    Believe it or not your mobile phone is the easiest device to hack. It’s a jackpot. It has all your personal information from your contacts to your passwords and even you bank account information!

    The major threat your Android device faces is from :

    • SMS Trojans – SMS Trojans are applications that operate in the background and send SMS messages to premium rate numbers, or numbers that charge you each time an SMS is sent to them. Some of them also make phone calls to long-distance premium phone numbers. All this is obviously without you knowing. These messages are sent to numbers – often international – owned by the attacker. According to Kaspersky Lab, SMS trojans account for almost half of all Android malware out there. It’s by far the easiest method as the attacker gets his money the moment the SMS/Call gets sent/made for the infected device.
    • Spywares – Majority of Android devices today are infected by some kind of spyware or the other. Applications having deep access and permissions to your system can be spywares. These applications exploit vulnerabilities in Android to gain root access(super user access) to the device, and collect information about you. These apps sync with your browsing history, credit-card details, email accounts, calendars, notes, and any other source of information before being sending it back to the attacker.

    Most of these just look like legitimate apps. So how do you protect yourself? Here’s how :
