Brother @Corwin_Ababio are you based on the motherland? What are your thoughts on the large use of cellphones on the motherland as our people’s main computing device when cellphones are the least secure computing device one can use? Being exposed to mobile malware to include android playstore malware laced apps, cellphones without anti-malware software installed, or any sort of encryption.

Thanks for your question on securing our mobile devices that is so ubiquitous here in the motherland.
I am currently in the USA on the plantation of North Carolina and planning to be in the motherland shortly in 2025.
You hit the nail right on the spot when you said “Being exposed to mobile malware to include android playstore malware laced apps, cellphones without anti-malware software installed, or any sort of encryption.”
Here are some recommendation I believe will help many of us.
Steps to protect your mobile devices:
Protect yourself from “Remote attacks vulnerabilities”.
1. *Use your common sense and stop relying on easy convenience for daily life.
2. Slow down, trust no one, and plan in advanced the things you will need.
3. *Set up screen lock (Pin and strong unique password).
4. Use bio-metrics security (Face or fingerprint recognition).
5. *Enable Two-factor (2FA) Authentication.
6. *Set up data encryption.
7. *Only install apps from mobile apps stores.
8. Only install apps you absolutely need.
9. *Never click on unsolicited data or links.
10. *Keep your phone Operating System (OS) updated regularly.
