Rajiv said the hackers changed his email ID’s password and mobile number by resetting the mobile somehow. The victim said he ignored the incident of e-mail ID being hacked and the extortion mail at first. But, when the hackers reached his home, he informed the police.

A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code including criminal intimidation, insulting the modesty of a woman, and an intentional insult to provoke breach of peace and the Information Technology Act, Deputy Superintendent of Police Anshu Jain told….to news agency PTI

1 Install app only from official app stores

This is another most important thing you must follow. Android, iOS, and other platforms offer a dedicated app to access the app store. in Android, it is the Play Store app and App Store app in iOS. Official app stores prevent malicious apps from appearing in the store and hence risk will be less. Never install apps from unknown sources. Most of these apps are malware and can access your photos, contacts, and other data on your smartphone.

2- Create proper passwords

This is a very basic thing you should do to keep your smartphone photos safe. There have been cases in which friends or some person who got access to a smartphone accessed data and leaked photos. It will also protect your smartphone’s data in case of smartphone theft or loss. So, add a password on your smartphone. And also add an app password in few apps which can reveal your personal data. In this way, it will protect your smartphone and data from people around you.

3 - Install a good antivirus

Antivirus software also offers a data wipe or smartphone tracking option. So, you should always use a good Antivirus if possible go with the paid ones.

5. Encrypt photos on your smartphone

Even if you are using a password, encrypt photos in your device by installing apps. You can use Keepsafe or other similar apps to keep your photos encrypted in your device. These kinds of apps let you create a safe vault where you can save your personal photos. These photos will not be available in your smartphone’s gallery section. And no other app will be able to access these photos.
