Smartphone Repair: Protect Your Data! Never Share Your Password

• Alisha's personal data was leaked after her phone was repaired at a third-party service center, leading to unknown calls and messages.
• Many incidents involve private photos, videos, and sensitive data being leaked or used for blackmail after phone repairs.
• Third-party service centers often request passwords, claiming it's for testing or because the phone is locked, granting them full access to your data.
• Never share your phone's password; service centers do not need it for diagnostics, as smartphones have dedicated features like Repair Mode.
• Utilize Repair Mode or Guest Mode to secure personal data during repairs, or back up and reset your phone if these modes are unavailable.

Why It Matters: Always protect your personal data during smartphone repairs by never sharing your password and using secure modes.
