How do you know if your smartphone has been compromised?

Little by little, smartphone users are beginning to understand how important it is to protect their devices so malware can’t be installed on them.

However, many users are unaware of what measures they can take to identify malicious activity on their devices. To complicate the picture, when the attacker gets to the final link in the chain of steps that make up a mobile attack, and the threat is finally installed on the victim’s device, they may take certain measures to prevent the threat from being noticed.
