US Government Warns Android and iPhone Users to Fix Three Mistakes or Risk Security Breach.

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has warned mobile users to be vigilant against cybercriminals who are creating increasingly convincing scams. The FTC advises against giving scammers access to personal information or devices, and recommends updating security software, running scans, and deleting anything that identifies as a problem. If scammers have taken control of a phone number, users should contact their service provider and change their password. If money has been paid to scammers, users should contact their bank or credit card company to reverse or refund the charge. If personal information has been given, users should change their password and monitor their credit. The FTC also recommends reporting scams to them to help fight cybercrime.
