has entered the era of mobile Internet. People are like "running naked", personal information security may be leaked at any time.
Even ordinary things like repairing mobile phones cannot be taken lightly.
Speaking of this, do you still remember Teacher Chen’s computer repair storm?
Even if all the data was deleted before repairing the computer, the data was leaked by the maintenance personnel with ulterior motives. After the incident of
, the parties involved and the people around them were greatly affected, and even the trajectory of life was forced to change. What is different from the past is that many information and sensitive information are now available on mobile phones.
is also very likely to happen when repairing a mobile phone, repairers sell customer privacy and sensitive information, or threaten to extort money.
For example, the following news.
Although some people may think, who will be interested in the privacy of ordinary people? But I'm afraid of everything.
A few days ago, Samsung introduced a "maintenance mode" to avoid this risk.
This function can be opened in "Settings" - "Battery and Equipment Repair". After
is turned on, and a separate account will be created after rebooting, for technicians to use when repairing the phone.
At the same time, the basic functions of the mobile phone will not be affected, but can prevent maintenance personnel from accessing the user's personal data.
After the phone is repaired, the user can exit the repair mode after unlocking. The accounts and data created in this mode will also be automatically deleted.
In this way, you no longer have to worry about the data on your phone being peeked by people with ulterior motives.
In fact, domestic mobile phones have launched similar functions long before Samsung, including Huawei , Xiaomi , OPPO, vivo, etc., among which Huawei is the first.
Open "My Huawei"-"Service"-"Quick Service"-"Repair Mode", click "Open" to enter the repair mode.
Other brands of mobile phones can try to find it in "Settings" - "My Devices". You can use it after agreeing to the disclaimer agreement.
Of course, not all mobile phones are the same, and you still need to explore the details yourself.
Before the mobile phone is repaired, it is very necessary to enable this function, which can completely eliminate the risk of personal privacy being prying and spreading.
Speaking of privacy protection issues, Apple can spare no effort in this regard.
In the latest iOS 16 official version, Apple also launched a "lock mode".
iPhone User opens "Settings" - "Privacy and Security" and finds "Lock Mode" in the last column of the page. After
is enabled, in order to ensure safety, the iPhone will not work normally, and the App, the network and some functions will be strictly restricted.
For example, information app, most information accessories will be blocked, and when the iPhone is locked, wired connections with computers or accessories will also be blocked.
At the same time, the mobile phone will have presidential level confidentiality and significantly improve the security factor.
According to Apple's official statement, this model is actually not designed for ordinary users, but for some special groups with high identity or work confidentiality.
More specifically, it is an additional protection for users who may be targeted by cyber attacks.
But the same thing is, I'm afraid of everything.
Network attacks are becoming more and more common, and the potential possibility of ordinary people being attacked is also increasing dramatically.
Although locking mode is the same as repair mode and may not become a common function, this still reflects Apple's emphasis on user information security.
Nowadays, more and more mobile phone manufacturers have joined the ranks of protecting user privacy and security.
On the one hand, mobile phone manufacturers retain more users, and on the other hand, the user's information security is also guaranteed.
No matter what, this is a win-win situation.
