Your Phone Password Hacking Is Just Another Easy Task For Bad Hackers

Smartphones can be a security tool as well as a hazardous security threat in itself. We fear most from the public Wi-Fis as they connect directly and can be a security interrupts in your phone. Have you thought that the monitor sensors can too be used as phone hackers? Also, face recognition technology can also be tricked by keeping picture in front and through fingerprint sensors. Newcastle University experts say that, these sensors can be serious problem for the users.

Most of the applications do not need you to provide any permission for bringing you device sensors in use. With this, hackers can easily detect your phone data.

Each move on your phone such as long-pressing, tapping and scrolling can be traced with using ergonomic limitations as a tool. What you typing on the keyboard and where your fingers are moving on the screen, everything can be traced.

The research team has approached all major tech giants like Google and Apple, but they too could not come up with far reaching solutions. By making apps ask to permit to use the sensors can solve this issue temporarily.

In these robotic times when even our senses have got digitalized, hacking has become a worldwide catastrophe. A breach into this will be a win like never before.
