1, MMS becomes a "serial killer" of mobile phones.

"I only knew that the computer would have a virus before, but I didn't expect to be recruited by the mobile phone now." Su Yanan, a citizen, said that on the eve of Tomb-Sweeping Day, she received a multimedia message with a URL link from her cousin. As usual, she received greetings from relatives and friends. She opened it casually and was in trouble. Su Yanan recalled that since opening the MMS, something strange happened: MMS automatically forwarded the content to all the contact numbers stored in her mobile phone. At first, she didn't know until a friend sent a text message asking, "How can I send messages repeatedly?" She checked her mobile phone and found that it was in the state of sending information. Su Yanan hurriedly canceled the transmission, but the mobile phone was possessed. Just when she canceled, the mobile phone display was still sending messages.

"I have more than 170 contact numbers in my mobile phone. If calculated according to the standard of a MMS 0.3 yuan, it will cost more than 50 yuan at once. " Su Yanan said, and this MMS will attack irregularly and send information repeatedly. "I have a phobia of cell phone information now. There is no need to use this 3G smart phone. I don't know how to control the cost of tens of dollars. The most terrible thing is that people who receive my MMS will be poisoned as long as they open it. It is simply a' serial killer'. "

2. A software paralyzes the mobile phone.

Half a month ago, Xiao Yang, who works in Zoomlion, bought an HTC smartphone. When the new machine arrived, the young people couldn't put it down. Out of curiosity, he began to download mobile phone applications on major websites, and opened the research one by one at night. However, two days ago, Xiao Yang just opened a new software, and the mobile phone suddenly turned off automatically, followed by frequent automatic shutdown. The mobile phone that I just bought for half a month is broken. Is it a counterfeit product? He angrily took his mobile phone to the dealer for questioning.

After the dealer understood the situation, the explanation given was: Xiao Yang's mobile phone was infected with a virus when downloading the software. "Many smartphone users like to download apps from app stores or mobile forums. Some malicious softwares are often disguised as popular applications to trick mobile phone users into downloading, such as sucking bats and changing their faces, and there are many new mobile phone viruses disguised as small games, photo processing and other applications; Some applications such as Baccarat Calendar, Android Optimizer, Thunder Watch, Plants vs Zombies, Three Kingdoms Kill, Maxthon Browser, etc. It was also maliciously tampered with by the virus. This kind of software even has the function of intercepting the operator's fee deduction prompt message. Once users download this kind of software, the cost will be deducted unconsciously. The most serious thing is that the virus may damage the SIM card and movement of the mobile phone, causing greater losses. " Experts said.

3. Mobile banking is frequently stolen.

Bird works in an IT company in Changsha, and usually likes to manage personal assets through mobile banking. Not long ago, he downloaded the mobile online banking payment client of a state-owned bank through the network, but after logging in for a few days, he found that he could not log in again, and the mobile banking repeatedly prompted the password error. Bird rushed to the bank business hall to inquire and found that the password had been changed. He said, fortunately, that account is usually only used to buy some small things online, and there is not much money.

Huang Yun, who lives in Sifangping, told reporters that during the Spring Festival this year, she received a short message, which read "Giving gifts for the New Year and grabbing the iPhone4S" and invited her to participate in the lucky draw. She used her mobile phone to browse the website attached to the short message and "fortunately" won the first prize, but the website reminded her to pay the handling fee before receiving the prize and asked her to enter her mobile banking account number and password in the website. Fortunately, Huang Jun didn't listen to each other's "reminder".

30% of mobile phone failures are caused by viruses.

When Zhang Min logged into a group buying website with her iPhone 4S phone, the group buying information stored in the phone was inexplicably pushed to a friend's phone, and she felt very embarrassed. Tan Zhigang even experienced an "adventure": when his mobile phone number was in arrears, his QQ avatar was displayed as a mobile phone login status, and he kept sending messages to people in the friends bar, such as "Call 12590642xxxx with your mobile phone, and you can get the phone bill in 200 yuan".

The reporter visited the Nokia mobile phone repair shop, HTC mobile phone repair shop, Samsung mobile phone repair shop and Apple mobile phone repair shop in Changsha. The staff of these repair shops all said that now they receive cases of mobile phone poisoning every day, and about 30% of the mobile phone failures sent for repair are caused by virus infection. At present, the popular smart phone in the market has become the biggest victim of the virus.

As we all know, the operating systems of smart phones include Nokia's Symbian, Microsoft's Windows Mobile, Google's Android and Apple's iPhone iOS. All these systems are likely to be attacked by viruses. However, Apple's iOS is a closed system, and the iPhone without jailbreak can only install software through the official App Store. In this case, it is very unlikely that an iPhone without jailbreak will be poisoned. The Google Android system, which is famous for its openness, is completely different. Not only does Google not restrict the installation of Android programs, but even important permissions such as sending and receiving text messages and reading contacts are open to users. For Android phones that are already Root (with administrator rights, similar to jailbreak of iOS), the security issue is even more worrying.

How to Prevent Cell Phone from "Poisoning"

Security experts suggest that in order to prevent viruses from invading mobile phones, users should do anti-virus work well. For example, if you encounter garbled SMS or MMS, delete it immediately; When using Bluetooth, infrared and other wireless transmission functions to receive information, you should choose safe and reliable transmission objects, and don't accept connection requests from strange devices, because mobile phone viruses will automatically search for devices within wireless range to spread viruses; Many viruses are hidden in network software. When users use their mobile phones to download all kinds of software, they should pay attention to whether the download website is safe and reliable, and try to avoid downloading software from personal websites. Don't use your mobile phone to browse dangerous websites. In addition, Rising.com Qin Dou has launched mobile phone security protection software, which users can download and use from its official website.
