CyberCode with Ava. Day 1. I Hacked My Own Bank App. Here’s What I Found

/

🚨 Hey everyone! I’m Ava, your friendly neighborhood ethical hacker, and I just had a revealing adventure that I thought I’d share. Imagine diving into your own digital security like a real hacker — that’s exactly what I did recently with my banking app. The results? Eye-opening!

🔍 During the challenge, I found my password was pretty strong. ✅ But here’s the kicker—I was using the same password for my email. If someone had phished my email, they could’ve accessed everything I own online. That’s a big no-no! 🔓

🗺️ Another surprise was that my app was silently tracking my location even when it was closed! That’s a lot of hidden permissions, and not in a good way. It’s a reminder to always check what permissions apps are requesting. Disable what you don’t need! 🔧

The key lessons I learned:
✓ Use unique passwords for every account 🔐
✓ Don’t reuse passwords across platforms ❌
✓ Regularly update your apps and software 🔄
✓ Review app permissions and disable unnecessary access 🚫
✓ Stay aware of what your devices might be sharing in the background 🌐

Remember, being vigilant isn’t just for experts—it’s for all of us. Protect yourself and stay savvy in this digital age! For more stories like this and tips to keep your online world safe, follow along with Milo’s Cybersecurity Adventures!
