做到以下幾點可確保你的手機遠離黑客

The government hack of an iPhone used by a San Bernardino killer serves as a reminder that phones and other electronic devices aren't impenetrable vaults.

政府僱傭黑客來破解聖貝納迪諾案件殺手的iPhone資料的案例提醒我們，手機和其他電子裝置並不是牢不可破的金庫。

Your phone stores more than just selfies. Your email account on the phone, for instance, is a gateway to resetting banking and other sensitive passwords.

你的手機中不僅有自拍，還有很多其他關鍵的資訊。比如黑客可以通過你手機上的電子郵箱賬戶，重置你的銀行賬戶密碼和其他敏感密碼。

Your Phone With A Passcode

1.使用鎖屏密碼

Failing to do so is like leaving your front door unlocked. Using six digits makes a passcode 100 times harder to guess. And if you want to make it even harder, you can add letters and other characters to further increase the number of possible combinations.

手機不設密碼，就像敞開家中大門一樣。六位密碼要比四位密碼難猜100倍。如果想讓密碼更難猜，可以新增字母或其他字元，這會進一步增加可能的密碼組合的數量。

These are options on both iPhones and Android. The iPhone's self-destruct feature is something you must turn on in the settings, under Touch ID And Passcode.

iPhone和安卓手機都有這些選項。iPhone的資料自動銷燬功能，可以在設定裡面的Touch ID And Passcode選項下操作。

Both systems will also introduce waiting periods after several wrong guesses to make it tough to try all combos.

密碼輸錯幾次後，iPhone和安卓系統都會進入停用模式，所以很難再繼續試密碼。

Encryption

2.使用加密功能

Much to the FBI's displeasure, iPhones running at least iOS 8 offer full-disk encryption by default.

更讓聯邦調查局頭疼的是，iPhone從iOS8系統版本開始，預設為全磁碟提供加密功能。

With Android, however, you typically have to turn that on in the settings.

對於安卓系統，你需要在設定中開啟加密功能。

Google's policy requires many phones with the latest version of Android, including its own Nexus phones. But, according to Google, only 2.3 percent of active Android devices currently are running that version.

谷歌的政策則是要求所有的手機，包括谷歌自己的Nexus手機，都要安裝最新的安卓系統。但是據谷歌的資料統計顯示，目前只有2.3%活躍的安卓使用者在使用該版本。

Up Device Finders

3.設定手機查詢功能

The app comes with iPhones, but you need to set it up before you lose your phone. Look for the Find iPhone app in the Extras folder.

雖然這項應用程式是iPhone自帶的，但是你要在手機丟失前設定好。開啟Extras檔案夾，即可找到Find iPhone應用。

There isn't anything comparable built into Android phones, but Google's Android Device Manager app, along with a handful of others made by third parties, can be downloaded for free from the Google Play app store.

雖然安卓系統目前沒有類似功能，但是谷歌的“安卓裝置管理器”應用和第三方出品的一些其他軟體也能發揮一定作用。這些應用可以在谷歌官方電子市場中免費下載。

Up Your Phone

4.備份手機資料

If you do have to remotely wipe the phone's data, it's comforting to know that you won't lose all your photos and other important data.

如果你不得不消除手機資料，那麼備份的好處會令你欣慰，因為你不會丟失所有的照片和其他重要的資料。

As mentioned before, apps such as Find My iPhone and Android Device Manager will allow you to do this, provided you set them up ahead of time.

如上所述，在事先備份的前提下，你可以通過“查詢我的iPhone”和“安卓裝置管理器”等應用恢復備份資料。

Your Software Up To Date

5.更新軟體

Software updates often contain fixes to known flaws that might give hackers a way into your device.

軟體更新是為了修復舊版本中的缺陷和漏洞，將黑客入侵手機裝置的可能性降到最低。

On iPhones, Apple prompts you to get the update. Alternatively, you can go to Settings, General and Software Update to check which version you are running.

iPhone會自動提醒你更新系統。或者，你也可以通過“設定”-“通用”-“軟體更新”來檢視自己正在使用的版本。

It's more complicated with Android because updates need to go through various phone manufacturers and wireless carriers first. But do install updates when asked.

安卓系統的更新情況更為複雜，因為更新資料需要通過多家手機制造商和無線運營商完成。但是請在系統要求時更新軟體。
