Some default settings leave the devices vulnerable to attacks. Therefore we need to pay attention on how to reduce such vulnerabilities and here are few steps to do so :

For all devices in general

• Disable wireless if not needed.
• Disable the Bluetooth if not needed.
• Only use known Wi-Fi connections, beware of free public Wi-Fi.
• When plugging in USB, do not "Trust this PC" when prompted, unless it is your personal or UNESCO system.
• Don't leave your device unattended, treat it like your wallet.
• Uninstall unused apps.
• Factory reset phones before returning the phone.

Verify why you should grant or deny app access to the following sensitive objects:

• Body sensors
• Calendar
• Call logs
