現代生活基本離不開手機,手機也上儲存著我們各種的隱私資訊,一旦外泄可能會對個人生活甚至安全造成困擾。但在資訊時代生活越來越便利的同時,潛在威脅也越來越多,點一個連結、打開一個網頁手機就可能會被惡意監控,也有不法分子會利用遠端軟體進行詐欺,下面將會教你幾個識別手機是否被監控、監聽的徵兆,並教你該如何解除以及在日常使用遠端軟體時該如何保障安全。

手機被監控的6大可疑徵兆

1、手機變得異常耗電

排除電池健康度下降的因素或是你在玩耗電的遊戲,如果你的手機在正常的使用强度或沒有使用時,耗電卻明顯比平時多,有可能是監控軟體正在後台悄悄運作,佔用手機效能,加速了電量消耗。

2、手機發熱

同樣地,在正常使用强度或沒有使用的情況下,手機溫度比平時要高,也需要多加留意,有惡意軟體在運作的可能。因爲監控軟體一般會長時間運作,一直佔用CPU内存,可能會導致手機發熱。

3、手機突然變慢

排除因爲日常使用載了過多軟體或相片占據了内存空間導致手機運作變慢,若您的手機使用突然變慢或常出現卡頓,則可能是因為手機監控軟體正在監控你的手機而佔據了內存空間。

4、手機自動會動

若你發現你的手機出現會突然自己重啓、在有電的狀況下自己關機,或是熄屏的狀況即使沒新訊息也突然亮起,甚至偶爾螢幕會自己動一下,那你就要警惕是不是有人在監控你的手機了。

5、莫名訊息或是瀏覽記錄

若手機收到莫名的但又帶著連結的訊息,要多加識別,儘量不要點開陌生訊息的連結,因爲一旦點開,手機可能會迅速感染病毒程式。日常也要常檢查看看網頁瀏覽記錄,若是出現非本人瀏覽的網頁,就要多加注意了。

6、通話過程中發出奇怪的噪聲

當您在與他人通話時,如果聼到了不明來源的噪聲,其他人聲,請提升警惕,因爲這有可能是手機被監視或是監聽的徵兆!


如果懷疑自己的手機在被監控,要怎麽檢查以及解除呢?


如何檢查並解除惡意的遠程訪問

1、檢查手機是否有隱藏程式

不管是Android還是iPhone手機,都有隱藏程式的功能,大家可以先檢查應用商店安裝記錄,也可以透過以下方法檢查是否有隱藏的程式,若有發現陌生軟體,請立即卸載,若發現有無法刪除的軟體,就要再找專業人士協助了。

iPhone:手機主界面一直滑倒最右邊「APP資料庫」,此處會有專門的隱藏的應用程式的分類夾,透過密碼或是面容識別即可看到是否有隱藏的應用程式。

Android: 前往手機 「設定」>> 「應用程式」>>「顯示隱藏的應用程式」,檢查是否有載了你不知道的程式。


2、修改應用程式定位權限

在日常使用應用程式時,都會提示要授權定位,這在一定程度上存在隱患。幸好不管是Android還是iPhone手機,都可以調整應用程式定位權限,以及透過模糊位置來加强安全性,以下是修改定位設定的方法。

iPhone:前往手機「設定」>>「隱私權與安全性」>>「定位服務」,找到你覺得高風險的程式如瀏覽器等,將「準確位置」選項關閉。其他程式也可以依照偏好修改權限。

同時,你也可以在「定位服務」介面一直往下滑找到「系統服務」,點擊「重要位置」,最後點擊「清除歷程記錄」來清除之前的位置記錄。

Android: 前往手機 「設定」>> 「應用程式」>>「定位服務」> 「Google 定位精確度」> 關閉「提高定位精準度」


3、安裝防毒軟體或反追蹤軟體

尤其是安卓裝置,可以考慮安卓一些防毒軟體或反追蹤程式,來偵測手機是否安裝了監控軟體或其他惡意軟體。值得注意的是,不管是Android還是iOS手機,下載軟體是請儘量前往官方應用商店並,不要透過連結或QRcode安裝軟體。


4、清理手機瀏覽記錄

Android:打開Google Chrome >> 點右上角的「┇」按鈕 >>「設定」>>「隱私權和安全性」>>「清除瀏覽資料」>> 選擇資料類別和要清除的時間範圍即可

iPhone:前往手機「設定」>「Safari」>>「清除瀏覽記錄及網站資料」。


5、更新Google帳號或Apple帳號密碼

若您的手機存在被監控風險,那麽您的密碼也有可能已經泄漏,由於Google帳號以及Apple帳號綁定了很多其他程式和軟體,所以更新密碼可以減少更多風險:

更改Google帳號密碼:打開Google帳戶 >>「安全性」>> 登入Google > 「密碼」> 輸入新密碼 >> 「變更密碼」。

更改Apple帳號 密码:前往裝置「設定」>> 點選帳號名稱 >>「密碼與安全性」>「更改密碼」,按照螢幕提示步驟更新密碼。


6、重置手機(非必要不使用!)

此方式只有在您認爲確實無法接觸監控的時候才建議使用,使用前請先做好手機備份,避免資料丟失。

Android:前往手機 「設定」>>「系統」>>「重設」>>「重設為原廠設定」,>>「重新設定手機」

iPhone:前往手機 「設定」>>「一般」>>「轉移或重設iPhone」>>「清除所有内容和設定」


日常安全使用遠端軟體避免被監控的建議

雖然大家都很擔心手機會被監控,特別是在使用遠端軟體的時候會有資安問題。但是遠端軟體的便利性越來越顯現,放棄使用確實比較可惜。事實上,只要留意這幾點,基本能規避絕大部分的潛在風險。

  1. 儘量不要使用公共Wifi

  2. 選用安全度高的遠端軟體

  3. 不要點陌生連結或下載未知軟體

  4. 不要相信任何陌生人讓你下載遠端程式

  5. 定期更新連缐密碼和帳號密碼並妥善保管

  6. 避免在陌生裝置上登入遠端帳號

  7. 善用安全設定

安全的遠端軟體DeskIn

使用安全的遠端軟體能很大程度降低被監控或惡意存取的風險,而DeskIn正是貼合這個要求的軟體,除了使用256位元加密,DeskIn還具有多維度的安全設定,保障你的信息不會被竊取、破壞:

  1. 新裝置登入需信箱驗證,確保帳號安全

  2. 連缐二次驗證:每次遠端連缐,均需要使用臨時密碼、安全密碼或手動驗證

  3. 控制Android和iOS裝置時需要同一個帳號才能進行,避免惡意操控

  4. 自動屏蔽功能:輸入密碼或是支付畫面,螢幕會短暫屏蔽变黑,防止個資外泄。

  5. 遠端時使用隱私螢幕,避免遠端操作被旁觀

  6. 可以自訂黑名單、白名單来控制特定裝置的訪問,避免來自陌生裝置的連缐

  7. 還可以設定非同帳號連缐時鎖定客戶端、鎖定螢幕、强制手動驗證等等

如何使用DeskIn?

  • Firewall Settings: Ensure that Remote Desktop is allowed through Windows Defender Firewall. Go to "Control Panel > Windows Defender Firewall > Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall", and make sure Remote Desktop is enabled for both private and public networks.

  • Network Configuration: Remote Desktop requires a stable network connection. If you're connecting over the internet, you may need to configure port forwarding (TCP 3389) on your router.

  • User Permissions: By default, only administrator accounts are allowed to connect remotely. Make sure the user account you are trying to use has remote access permission. You can add users in "Settings > System > Remote Desktop > Select users that can remotely access this PC".

Does Remote Desktop Connection Come with Windows 10?

Remote Desktop Connection is included in certain editions of Windows 10, but not all:

  • Included: Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions come with built-in Remote Desktop functionality.

  • Not Included: Windows 10 Home edition does not support Remote Desktop hosting (only connecting to other PCs is possible).

    • If you're using Windows 10 Home and want to enable Remote Desktop hosting, you will need to upgrade to a Pro version or explore third-party remote desktop software alternatives.

Bonus: An Easier Alternative to Remote Desktop - DeskIn App
