Hello
10 months ago I switched from iPhone 5 to Sony Xperia Z1 Compact mobile (not rooted), running Android 4.4.4.
The phone was running great, I also tested it for developing some simple android projects. I enabled USB debugging and checked "allow installation from unknown sources".
But always keeping in mind that Android is not secure. And choosing carefully what to install. But I was also trusting CM Security as a protection.
1 month ago, I turned ON wifi and I was trying to open my email app to see if there is any new mail.
After the device connected to internet, I saw someone was scrolling controlling my screen and navigating. After he found the "CM Security" app he tried to uninstall it.
Luckily I was very concentrated at what was going on, so I clicked on the side of the screen to prevent it. He tried again to do the same thing, so I run and switched off my home wifi rooter in time.
So the phone was taking both commands from me and the attacker.
For my fortune I always leave OFF wifi, mobile data and Bluetooth when I don't need them.
Anyway I made a hard reset. I did it without using the Safe Mode.
The problem was solved.
I hoped that it happened because I connected to many unsecure public wifi networks during my trips out of country last month!
Since the "master/hard reset" I installed only applications very very popular and I never connected anymore to any public wifi.
Also I never enabled the USB debugging and never checked "allow installation from unknown sources".
So I was using my phone normally, until yesterday. It was protected through CM Security, AVAST, and CM Cleaner.
But here it comes again!!! I connected through the 3G internet and again the phone was remote controled.
So today I did a hard reset but this time in SAFE MODE.
Please suggest me what other can I do?
