Security on your mobile
Smartphones have become small computers where we carry all kinds of personal information. It is essential to treat them as such and follow a few tips that will help us avoid security issues on our smartphones.
How to protect your mobile phone?
Follow these tips to ensure that your mobile phone is fully protected:
- Make sure the software is updated.
- Install an antivirus.
- Use passwords and lock patterns.
- Avoid open Wi-Fi networks for online shopping or accessing your bank account.
- Beware of smishing. This is a version of phishing but on a mobile, which aims to get hold of your data by posing as a third party. Avoid following links sent by SMS from people you don’t know.
- Download applications only from official sources. Always check the app's developer, in our case Banco Santander.
