Remotely locking your smartphone can protect your information from robbers and fraudsters.
If you have lost your mobile phone, the entrance to which is not protected in any way, this threatens with many troubles. The person who found it will have access to the mobile bank and your accounts.
Therefore, says Sergey Kuzmenko, senior specialist in testing information products at the Center for Digital Expertise of Roskachestvo, it is important to protect the entrance to the device with a pin code or biometric fingerprint in advance and activate the remote phone lock function.
Finding that there is no smartphone, look nearby, call its number. If it is impossible to find a gadget, you will have to use a remote method of deleting data, as well as block the SIM card and cards and accounts linked to the phone, find the “End sessions on all devices” function in your accounts in order to remotely log out from services and social networks.
When contacting the police with a statement about the theft of the phone, indicate its IMEI and serial number, the expert said in an interview with the Prime agency.
