Is it dangerous for a stranger to borrow a hot mobile phone to open a hot spot?

Not only dangerous, but also very dangerous. Through hotspots, hackers can easily control your mobile phone.

State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China launched the "Personal Income Tax" APP, which is convenient for taxpayers to fill in information online for special deduction. In the past few days, the number of downloads and registrations of this application has increased significantly. Therefore, various "tax" applications made by many commercial companies have become popular. Many of them are purely hot spots, and similar malware will steal personal information.

Fake tax software rubs hot spots and steals information

Xiao Zhao, who works in an Internet company, received a short message claiming to be from the financial department of the company, asking him to click the link to download an application and register his personal information in order to enjoy the new tax preferential policies. I didn't receive the notice from the unit in advance, and I was somewhat suspicious after receiving the information. However, it was New Year's Day holiday, and I directly downloaded a small program called "Tax Information Registration" without consulting my colleagues in the financial department.

In the subsequent information registration process, he felt something was wrong. After searching from the mobile phone's software store, we found that this is not a genuine People's Republic of China (PRC) State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China "Personal Income Tax" APP. So he decisively stopped the information registration. After consulting, he learned that this short message was not sent by the financial department of the unit, and it was probably a phishing link.

Some network security companies said that they recently killed virus software such as "personal income tax inquiry", "tax rate calculator" and "personal income tax calculator" to induce users to download under the guise of free.

For security reasons, it is recommended that you modify the commonly used APP passwords such as mobile phone gesture password, mobile banking password, Alipay password and WeChat password.

It is a good habit to change your password regularly. If you are worried that you can't remember the number of password changes, you can consider storing it in keynote, evernote, memo and other texts so that you can look it up at any time.
