Remove phone spying apps immediately from mobile, after Pegasus revelations, discussions of phone spying among people

Since the revelations of the Israeli mobile spying software Pegasus, the issue of discussion among the common people is whether their mobile phones are not being spied, or what are the ways in which one can protect against such espionage. In investigation, it has come to the fore that there are more than 100 apps available for spying on mobiles.

They can read from your voice to chat, can also steal photos. What precautions should be taken if someone is trying to connect with you through such an app? On this issue, senior advocate and cyber expert of Delhi Supreme Court Pawan Duggal and Raipur SSP Ajay Yadav have suggested some security measures.

The most important of these is that if there is an app on your mobile phone that you have not used for the last 7 days, then it should be removed immediately. Raipur SSP said that till now no person in the capital has come to the police station and complained about spying on the phone. If this is suspected, then help should be sought from the police.

We have to understand that we have to live in an environment of cyber insecurity, prevention is wise.

According to cyber expert Duggal – Pegasus is the most advanced spy software ever. However, apart from this, there are many apps in the market for hacking or spying on mobile. They can spy on phones, listen in on conversations, steal messages and data. It has to be clearly understood that we are in an environment of cyber insecurity, from which only vigilance and understanding can save. The first measure of alertness is to keep only those apps on your mobile phone, which are of your frequent use and are also safe. Apps that are not used regularly should be deleted.

Mobile companies update their software from time to time and fix the flaws, so keep downloading every update. Do not keep any personal data or photos, which is related to your family or financial matters, on the phone at all. Download any app, read its policy, because common people often do not do this. Apart from this, games and fantasy apps should also be avoided.

Now non zero click app

Pegasus is a non zero click app. This means if someone wants to spy on your mobile then he will neither send any link nor take permission. That is, no one will know that his phone is being spied on. Apart from this, those spy apps can spy only after clicking on the link or giving permission. So be alert, click on an unknown link carefully. Use mobile cleaning tools, as this will clean spy apps from your mobile.

Side effects of policy easing

No person can be spied on without permission, legally or in the fundamental rights that every person in the country has got. Government agencies can do this only when the matter related to the integrity and security of the country comes. For this, even the government agency has to take written permission from the Secretary level officer of the Home Department giving reasons. Nevertheless, such cases are increasing in the country because cyber security policies are not implemented effectively here.

Hacking cheated, no espionage report,
Raipur SSP Yadav said that till now there have been more cases of cheating by hacking mobiles etc. in the capital. There are also one or two cases of creating fake profiles. But till now the complaint of spying on the mobile of any person has not reached the police. There are many apps, so these fears are increasing. If you think that your mobile is being spied, here are some clues. In such a situation, immediately inform the police and cyber cell. Avoid downloading any new app.
