Paul, Ioana and Bogdan discussed live with Bogdan Belu, General Manager at distinct.ro, who confirmed their fears: groups that are only living from exploiting telephone security problems have started to appear, stealing data and using them forward.
However, security actions could also be taken: making a phone data back-up, setting a password for important data, blocking the access to the phone interface and updating the operating system. Moreover, you need to pay a lot of attention to applications installation.
