SmartPhone Remote Wipe
The most valuable thing in your hand is a smartphone. It contains almost all of your information, which makes you care about it so that you don't leave it anywhere. Nowadays a mobile is like a goldmine of personal information which includes emails, SMS, Whatsapp messages, contacts and lot more.
If you lose your mobile or someone stole it, you feel almost screwed up. What if it goes into the hands of cybercriminals?
Preparations Can Save From Worst
At the moment you realize that now it is almost impossible to get the mobile back, start thinking of remotely erasing all its data. The strategy for doing so begins when you have the mobile, install and activate remote wipe software. Keep taking the backups periodically, from where you can reload anytime.
You can remotely wipe the whole thing through iCloud or Google.
