Securing a smart phone is more essential than just using it to the most. While speaking about the android, it is the operating system with more vulnerability to get hacked. Though it has the safest methods to block unauthorized access to the content, it exhibits easy-to-break security properties to a hacker.
What we generally do to restrict unauthorized access to our smart phone is by locking it with a pattern lock or security PIN. If you think these are going to save you from being hijacked, you are in a trans that you won’t fall down when dropped off in mid-air. Yes! you can even be hacked though it is locked with pin or pattern. The best way to avoid the hack on your mobile is to know who is hacking it at first.
Among the hell lot of apps for Android, I bring this to your notice a great app with very smart behavior that catches the thief who is trying to unlock your phone with his wrong trails attempts. LockWatch Anti-Theft application takes the photo of the thief or hijacker and sends it to your email ID without a ‘click’ or ‘blink’ sound or action.
You can Download LockWatch Anti-Theft application from Google Play for free.
Features
This application allows you to
- Turn off and Turn on the email alerts.
- Trigger to No. of unlock attempts.
- Prevent or allow false alarms.
How it works
When a thief or hacker tries to unlock the pattern or PIN with his trails of guess passwords, it simple shows him wrong if the password is wrong(This app can’t do anything if the password is already known to the thief or hacker. If the password is known, he surely would be your close friend trying to ditch you. Think about it!). When it is shown wrong once the application triggers to take a picture of him from the front camera and sends it to your email along with the precise GPS location details.
What if…?
I understand your concern over the android phones with no front camera. As you expected, this application is partially useful in such context. It can only send you GPS location details which still helps you find your phone when lost.
What if password is already known to your friend(s)? If your answer say that you are still hacked, you better spy on your friend for a couple of following days.
Conclusion
Keeping your smart phone in a safe place is recommended instead of blaming every gadget freak, who comes to your home, laying his finger on your handset. Don’t share your password with any one because once unlocked, your magic wand would be in his hand. Keep it safe!
