They can access your data without you knowing

Years ago, it was hard to imagine spending a large portion of your life scrolling through web pages and text on a single device. Let alone a mobile phone. Today, thanks in large part to the rise of social media and its associated apps, it’s even harder to imagine life without it.

Nowadays mobile devices resemble personal computers, where large parts of personal data can be stored. This data is mostly directly connected to the internet, even what is stored on the SIM card.

This means that not only is the security of your SIM card crucial against online attacks, but the device itself must also be well protected.
