Sannado ka hor way adkaan lahayd in la qiyaaso in qayb wanaagsan oo noloshaada ka mid ah lagu kharash gareynayo in la dhex maro boggaga internetka iyo qoraallada hal qalab. Iska daa in qalabkaasi uu yahay moobil. Maalmahan^(Nowadays) , aad baad ugu mahadsan tahay kobaca warbaahinta bulshada iyo apps-yada la xidhiidha, xataa way adagtahay in la qiyaaso noloshaada mid la'aan.

Maanta, aaladaha mobiladu waxay u eg yihiin kombiyuutarada gaarka ah, halkaasoo qaybo badan oo xogta shakhsi ah lagu kaydin karo. Inta badan, xogtani waxay si toos ah ugu xidhan tahay internetka, xitaa waxa lagu kaydinayo SIM card.

Tani waxay la macno tahay in aan kaliya ahayn amniga kaarkaaga SIM- ka muhiimadda muhiimka ah ee ka dhanka ah weerarrada khadka, laakiin sidoo kale waa difaac ay tahay in lagu ilaaliyo aaladda lafteeda.

Magacyada, ciwaanada, sawirada, iyo nambarada telefoonku waa qayb ka mid ah waxa lagu kaydinayo SIM- kaarka. Mar hacker-ku soo dhex galo qalabkaaga waxay heli karaan dhammaan xogtan iyo in ka badan, inta badan adiga oo aan xitaa ogeyn.

Sida Looga Ilaaliyo SIM Card-ka Taleefankaga Khatarta^{(How To Protect Your Phone’s SIM Card From Hackers)}

Waxa jira ugu yaraan saddex dariiqo oo aasaasiga ah oo lagaga hortagayo SIM- kaarka taleefankaaga inay galaan meelaha xaasidnimada leh. Waxa ugu cad oo ah in aad teleefankaaga jir ahaan ka ilaaliso gacmaha shisheeyaha.

Ilaali Taleefankaaga^{(Guard Your Phone)}

Sida ugu fudud ee uu qofku u jabsan karo aalada moobilka waa in uu gacanta ku dhigo. Inaad talefankaaga ka tagto iyada oo aan lala socon waa khatar aad u daran waana mid si fudud looga fogaado.

Ha u ogolaan shisheeyaha inay isticmaalaan taleefankaaga, weligood. Waxa laga yaabaa inaad sidoo kale ku siiso dhammaan macluumaadkaaga goobta. Haddii ay dhacdo in aad lumiso taleefankaaga, isla markiiba la xiriir adeeg bixiyahaaga oo hakad akoonka si ku meel gaar ah. Mar alla markii aad daahdo, way sii xoogaysanaysaa suurtogalnimada qofka hadda haysta taleefanka, wuu heli doonaa.

Furaha sirta ah ee xooggan sidoo kale waa lama huraan^{(A strong password is also a necessity)} marka ay timaado ilaalinta amniga aaladdaada. Furaha sirta ah waa inuu noqdaa mid adag in la shaaciyo oo marar badan la beddelo. Weligaa ha^(Never) noqon qof ku qanacsan marka ay timaado amnigaaga shakhsi ahaaneed.

In kasta oo aan isku dayeyno inaan ka ilaalinno kaarka SIM- kaaga tuugada, u beddelashada SIM- kaaga mid ka duwan had iyo jeer waxay kaa caawin kartaa in macluumaadka lagu kaydiyo iyaga ammaan ah. Kaarka SIM-^(SIM) ka beddelashada waa khatar halis ah oo sii kordheysa. Ku haynta kaarka SIM- ka ee la casriyeeyay waxay yarayn kartaa fursadahaaga in lagu bartilmaameedsado haakarisku.

Ku celceli Badbaadada onlaynka ah^{(Practice Online Safety)}

Iska ilaali inaad^(Avoid) gujiso xidhiidhada ku xidhan iimaylada shakiga leh. Khiyaamada phishingka ayaa soo noqonaysa soo laabasho halis ah waana mid ka mid ah aaladaha waxtarka badan ee ay tuugtu u isticmaali doonaan si ay u xadaan macluumaadkaaga. Si la mid ah sida aad uga fogaan lahayd kombayutarka gaarka ah, waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad ku tababarto taxadar la mid ah qalabkaaga gacanta.

Sida hore loo sheegay, warbaahinta bulshada ayaa lagu arkay saadaasha hawada dhowrkii sano ee la soo dhaafay. Dad badan oo aan ka duwanayn naftaada ayaa isticmaalaya warbaahinta bulshada maalin kasta si ay ula xiriiraan asxaabta iyo qoyska, sababo xirfadeed awgeed, ama si fudud noloshooda ugu soo bandhigaan si ay dunidu u aragto. I rumayso^(Trust) markaan kuu sheego in indhaha qaldan ay mar walba daawanayaan.

Hackers-ku waxa uu shanlayn doonaa dhammaan taariikhdaada warbaahinta bulshada^{(comb your entire social media history)} si uu u raadiyo xogo badan oo ay u isticmaali karaan inay ku xadaan aqoonsigaga. Waxay isku dayi doonaan inay fahmaan nooca qofka aad tahay waxayna u isticmaali doonaan macluumaadkaas inay jabsadaan SIM- gaaga . Kadib waxay isku dayaan inay ku khiyaameeyaan adeeg bixiyahaaga si ay u waydiistaan SIM kaar cusub iyagoo iska dhigaya adiga. Hackers-ku wuxuu heli doonaa SIM- kaaga cusub oo u isticmaali doona inuu helo dhammaan wicitaannada iyo qoraallada adiga kugu habboon.

Macluumaadka ay helaan waxay sidoo kale ka caawin doontaa inay jabsadaan akoonkaaga bangiga. Hadda oo ay galaangal u heleen iimaylkaaga, helista dib u habeynta erayga sirta ah waa sida ugu fudud dhowr dhagsi oo fog. Hadda lacagtaada oo dhan iyagaa iska leh. Noqo mid caqli badan oo ha siin jabsiga macluumaadka ay u baahan yihiin si ay u soo galaan noloshaada. Ilaali noloshaada khaaska ah, mid gaar ah.

WiFi dadweynaha^{(Public WiFi)}

Tani waa inay noqotaa mid aan maskax lahayn laakiin dadku wali waxay ku talajiraan isticmaalka WiFi dadweynaha . Way adag tahay in la yiraahdo maya intarneetka bilaashka ah dukaamada qaxwaha, suuqyada, iyo meelaha kale ee mobilada^{(mobile hotspots)} . Faham in jabsadayaashu ay tan yaqaaniin oo ay inta badan bartilmaameedsanayaan meelahan maadaama amniga internetka uu yahay mid aad u xun.

Digniinta aan la hubin waxay si dhab ah u saameyn kartaa amniga aaladdaada moobaylka, taasoo kaa dhigaysa mid aad ugu nugul tuugta. Dabadeed, haddii ay dhacdo inaad illowdo inaad adeegsatay adeegga dadweynaha markii hore, ka tagista iyada oo ku xidhan waxay kaa dhigaysaa inaad qaawdo.

Haddii aad gabi ahaanba u baahan tahay inaad isticmaasho WiFi dadweynaha , iska hubi inaad damiso Bluetooth -kaaga bilaa-waayirka ah marka aanad isticmaalin, oo aad isticmaasho VPN^{(use a VPN)} .

Taxaddar Dheeraad ah^{(Additional Precautions)}

Waxyaabo kale oo aad samayn karto si aad SIM kaarkaaga uga ilaaliso tuugada ayaa ah inaad ku darto PIN akoonka sidaha teleefankaaga, oo aad u wareejiso aqoonsi kasta oo laba -factor ah (2FA) Google Voice . PIN - ka waxa ay ahayd in wax laga qabto marka la gadanaayo qalabka, laakiin dadka qaar ayaa laga yaabaa in ay aad mashquul u yihiin ama aanay ogayn in ay xataa ikhtiyaar tahay.

Haddii aadan weli helin PIN , waxaad weli ku dhejin kartaa taleefanka adiga oo wata side ama onlayn bogga rasmiga ah ee side. PIN - ku waxa uu koontadaada ku dari doonaa lakab dheeraad ah oo ilaalin ah taas oo ka dhigaysa in aanay u badnayn in sidaha lagu nacasyo in uu u maleeyo in hackers dhab ahaantii adiga tahay.

Lahaanshaha dhammaan xaqiijinta laba-tallaabo ah oo la aado koontada Codka Google^{(Google Voice)} waa hab hubaal ah oo "shimbirta loo rogo" hacker-ka. Waxay u qaadan doonaan in dhammaan macluumaadkaaga ay fartooda ku jiraan oo kaliya si ay si dhakhso ah u ogaadaan in dhammaan faahfaahinta casiir leh loo weeciyay meel kale.

Dhammaan xisaabaadka ugu caansan sida Google , Facebook , Twitter , Instagram , iyo wixii la mid ah, waxay yeelan doonaan 2FA. Wax wakhti badan kuma qaadato in la sameeyo nambarka taleefanka Google Voice^{(set up a Google Voice phone number)} waxayna kaa badbaadin kartaa walaac badan mustaqbalka. Naftaada wanaag oo hel mid.

How to Protect Your Phone’s SIM Card From Hackers

Years ago it wоuld have been hard to imagine that a good portion of your life would be spent scrollіng through webpageѕ and texts on a single device. Let alone that device beіng a mobile phone. Nowadays, thankѕ in very largе part to the boom of social media and their assoсiated aрps, іt’s even harder to imagine your life without one.

Today, mobile devices resemble personal computers, where large portions of personal data can be stored. For the most part, this data is directly connected to the internet, even that which is being saved to the SIM card.

This means that not only is the security of your SIM card of vital importance against online attacks, but so too is a defense that must be maintained over the device itself.

Names, addresses, photos, and phone numbers are only a fraction of what is being saved to the SIM card. Once a hacker has infiltrated your device they can access all of this data and more, often without you even knowing it.

How To Protect Your Phone’s SIM Card From Hackers

There are at least three primary ways to prevent your phone’s SIM card from being accessed by malicious entities. The most obvious of which would be to keep your phone physically out of the hands of strangers.

Guard Your Phone

The easiest way for a person to hack your mobile device is for them to get their hands on it. Leaving your phone unattended is a serious risk and one that is also very easily avoided.

Don’t allow strangers to use your phone, ever. You might as well just provide them with all of your information on the spot. If you happen to lose your phone, contact your service provider immediately and have the account temporarily suspended. The longer you delay, the stronger the likelihood of whomever currently possesses the phone, will gain access to it.

A strong password is also a necessity when it comes to maintaining security on your device. The password should be difficult to divulge and be changed often. Never become complacent when it comes to your personal security.

Though we’re trying to protect your SIM card from hackers, swapping out your SIM for a different one every now and again can help keep the information stored on them safe. SIM card swapping is a serious and growing threat. Keeping the SIM card updated can reduce your chances of being targeted by hackers.

Practice Online Safety

Avoid clicking on links attached to suspicious emails. Phishing scams are making a serious comeback and are one of the more effective tools hackers will use to steal your information. Similar to how you would avoid them on a personal computer, you’ll need to practice the same precautions on your mobile device.

As mentioned earlier, social media has seen a meteoric rise in the last few years. Many people not unlike yourself are using social media daily to stay in contact with friends and family, for professional reasons, or to simply put their lives on display for the world to see. Trust me when I tell you that the wrong eyes are always watching.

A hacker will comb your entire social media history in search of tidbits of information that they can use to steal your identity. They will attempt to understand the kind of person you are and use that information to hack into your SIM. They then attempt to trick your service provider into asking for a new SIM card by pretending to be you. The hacker will then receive your new SIM and use it to receive all calls and texts meant for you.

The information they receive will also aid them in hacking into your bank account. Now that they have access to your emails, getting a password reset is as easy as a few clicks away. Now all of your money belongs to them. Be smart and don’t give a hacker the information they need to infiltrate your life. Keep your private life, private.

Public WiFi

This should be a no-brainer but people are still intent on using public WiFi. It’s hard to say no to free internet at your local coffee shops, malls, and other mobile hotspots. Understand that hackers know this as well and will often target these places as internet security is typically abysmal.

An unsecured signal can seriously affect the security on your mobile device, leaving you more vulnerable to hackers. Then, if you happen to forget you used the public service in the first place, leaving it connected keeps you exposed.

If you absolutely need to use public WiFi, make sure you turn your wireless Bluetooth off when not in use, and use a VPN.

Additional Precautions

Some other things you can do to protect your SIM card from hackers are to add a PIN to your phone carrier account, and redirect any two-factor authentication (2FA) to Google Voice. The PIN should have been dealt with upon purchase of the device but some folks may be either too busy or unaware it’s even an option.

If you have yet to acquire a PIN, you can still set it up over the phone with the carrier or online at the carrier’s official website. The PIN will add an extra layer of protection to your account making it less likely that the carrier is fooled into thinking a hacker is actually you.

Having all two-step verification go to a Google Voice account is a surefire way to “flip the bird” to a hacker. They will assume that all of your information is at their fingertips only to quickly realize that all of those juicy details are being redirected elsewhere.

All of the most popular accounts like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on, will have 2FA. It doesn’t take much time at all to set up a Google Voice phone number and it could save you plenty of stress in the future. Do yourself a favor and get one.
