This simple action can disrupt hackers' operations and make their attacks more noticeable to victims.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) has also issued a security alert advising users to restart their mobile phones once a week. So what effect does this seemingly small action have to prevent attacks? Dilation Effect has published an analysis.
This is because attacks on mobile phones are often carried out through text messages or browsers. If the phone is successfully hacked and a Trojan is installed in the process, restarting the phone can interrupt the Trojan's operation.
After the phone reboots, if the Trojan wants to remain active, the hacker must master the secure boot vulnerability of the mobile phone system or re-implement the exploitation of the attack code. If the attacker needs to perform the attack again, the victim can notice this.
According to experts, secure boot vulnerabilities are rare, so restarting the phone after a period of use is reasonable.
In addition to weekly reboots, Dilation Effect also recommends that iPhone users permanently turn off iMessage functionality. This could potentially add another layer of security and further protect users from potential threats.
