Reminder: FBI Suggestions For Phone Settings
Haven’t interviewed Public Affairs Specialist Shelley Lynch with the FBI Charlotte Division in quite awhile, but the tips remain the same. All year, but especially during the holidays we have to be careful since we’re pulling our credit cards out, more. If you have time go to phone and click on settings icon. See all those Apps in your privacy settings? What you’ll see are all these apps collecting all kinds of data from our activity. Android users, the procedure might be the same. If you get scammed please report it directly to FBI internet security site, at ic3.gov.
If you like signing up for apps and adding your email for discounts, we’re all guilty. If you have a Cleaning App to sweep your phone, that’s unneeded. Another one is Battery Saving Apps. I get it, we all want to save energy, but these Smart Phones already has energy saving function. Another one is Antivirus Apps you’ve purchased for phones. You can learn more at IC3.Gov.
