The Pegasus snooping row has again thrown into spotlight the issue of how safe our phones are. While most people do not need to worry about Pegasus, there are several other hacking and spying software and apps that you need to be cautious of.
While some apps try to access financial information from your phone like bank account details or passwords, others can take complete control over your phone including photo gallery, calls, messages and more.
But there are signs that you can look for, which tell you if your phone has been hacked.
#1 Phone's battery is draining faster than usualIf your phone's battery is draining faster than usual, malware and fraudulent apps may be using malicious code that tends to drain a lot of power. But before we scare you, check the number of apps running in the background. First close them and then monitor.
#2 You spot apps that you didn't downloadYour phone may be vulnerabe to hacks if you notice apps on your smartphone that you are sure you didn't download.
#3 Your phone is crashing too many timesKeep an eye out if you find your smartphone is acting weird. Apps crash unexpectedly or fail to load. Many sites look different than they usually do, is a telltale sign.
#4 Your phone is throwing up too many pop-upsIf you notice a lot of inappropriate or X-rated advertisements as pop-ups on your phone, it could suggest that your phone has been compromised. Pop-ups may be due to adware, a type of malicious software that inundates your device with ads. Remember to never click on such links.
#5 The flashlight of your phone turns on, on its ownThe flash light turning on even when you are not using your phone is another sign to look out for. This may be because your device is being remotely controlled.
#6 Your phone is getting very hot even when not in usePhones can heat up during prolonged periods of use, like gaming for hours, or running navigation apps etc. But, if your phone is getting very hot even when you don't use it, there is some cause for worry.
#7 You notice gibberish call logs or text messages&nbsp;You must watch out for texts or calls in your log that were not sent to you or sent by you. If you notice gibberish and unusual characters there, it would be a sign that a hacker could be accessing your phone.
#8 Your data usage suddenly shoots upIf your data bill is higher than usual without you increasing your online activities, it is likely that your phone is hacked and the hacker could be using your phone&rsquo;s data to run apps in the background.
#9 Unrecognised activity on social media accountsIf there are posts on your social media handles that you haven't made or emails sent from your account, that are connected to your phone, it could mean that a hacker has gained access to the device.
#10 Your phone becomes unusually slow and sluggishIf your phone is hanging more often, or the screen is freezing too many times, or your phone is rebooting unexpectedly, it could be a sign of a hacked device.

Twitter warned Thursday that governments around the globe are asking the company to remove content or snoop on private details of user accounts at an alarming rate.
The social media company revealed in a new report that it fielded a record number of legal demands — nearly 60,000 during a six-month period last year —- from local, state or national governments that wanted Twitter to remove content from accounts or reveal confidential information such as direct messages or user locations.
“We're seeing governments become more aggressive in how they try to use legal tactics to unmask the people using our service, collect information about account owners and also using legal demands as a way to try and silence people,” Yoel Roth, the head of Twitter's safety and integrity, said in a conversation broadcast on the site Thursday.
The US makes up the majority of demands for account information, accounting for 20% of the requests. India follows closely behind. Twitter says it complied fully with roughly 40% of all asks for information on user accounts.
Japan, which is also a frequent requestor for account information, makes the most requests of Twitter to take down content from accounts. Japan made more than 23,000 requests — half of all requests — for content to be removed. Russia followed closely behind on its takedown asks.
Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, also reported an increase in government asks for private user data during the same timeframe.
Twitter also reported a huge spike in requests from governments that targeted verified journalists and news outlets during the last half of 2021.
Governments also made a record number of legal demands on 349 accounts of verified journalists or news outlets around the globe between July and December of last year — a 103% increase.
Twitter did not provide a breakdown of which countries made those requests on journalists' accounts or how many of the asks they complied with.
Governments are using the social media companies to silence critics and censor journalists, Rob Mahoney, the executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press.
“This surge in government demands for content takedowns and information on journalists is part of a global trend of increasing censorship and manipulation of information," Mahoney said. “Social media platforms are vital for reporters and they must do more to resist government attempts to silence critical voices.”

Facebook's lawsuit against NSO Group gets support from global orgs

Facebook's lawsuit against Israeli surveillance tech firm NSO Group has reportedly gotten support for a coalition of human rights and press freedom groups. Organisations including Amnesty International, Reporters Without Borders and the Internet Freedom Foundation have alleged that NSO Group's Pegasus spyware has been used by "repressive regimes...for insidious ends".
