I see in the gossip news (I read most things if it sparks my interest) that Scarlet Johansson iPhone has been hacked into smithereens. This is not the first mobile hack to happen in the past few years.
This types of hacking happens because of wrong settings on the mobile phone in question. In the most technical terms no mobile phone is save from hacking. But the risks can be minimized a lot if the correct mobile phone is bought. My advice is to avoid iPhone, Android phones and any mobile phone with Windows Os on them due too how simple and easy it is to get malware and spyware and other bad software into them. It is best to go with Symbian phones or mobile phones that run other types of mobile Os that are out there.
If you want to own a iPhone or a Android phone. The advice below this line is something that is important to follow in that case.
It is also important to turn off the following things on the mobile phone when not in use. Not only does it save battery, but it also makes the mobile phone safer and less likely to get hacked by some people few km away from it, where it cannot be found. It is important to turn off Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (WLAN) on mobile phones when it is not in use. As the most common way to hack mobile phones is with this two connection points. But the most important advice that I can give to famous people and everyone else is that to learn on what they are buying (in short, read the manual that comes with your phone!). But mobile phones today are nothing less then a mini-computer that people carry around in there pocket.
If you are a famous person hows phone has been hacked. It is best to backup the data from it and reset it to factory settings or just plain out format it. As the phone has been compromised and is a security risk from that point forward until it is formatted and reset.
