Instances of phone hacking are increasing – which is why you need to know what to dial to see if your phone is hacked. Knowledge of the right codes can help you promptly detect spyware before the hacker gets too far. Luckily, there are a few simple codes you can dial to keep up with hackers.
For example, a few years ago, the Pegasus spyware made the rounds, allowing hackers to monitor calls, capture text messages, track a user’s location, and collect data. In 2023, fake Telegram apps infected millions of users’ phones.
Anti-hacking codes are a combination of letters, numbers, and characters that reveal important information about your phone that may otherwise go unnoticed. This tells you if someone has taken control of your phone, installed spyware on it, or diverted calls to a different number.
In addition to Android codes, you also have iPhone codes to check for spyware – especially since hacks like Pegasus can hit iPhone users as well. How do you know if you need to use one of these codes? First, ask yourself if your phone is being hacked.
