CoverMe — Protect Your Personal Information Against Data Breaches

The past decade saw a rapidly growing trend of hacking and data breaches, from social platform giant Twitter to groceries delivered app Instacart. Although the increasing number of data breaches gradually raised awareness of protecting online data and personal information, many people are confused about how to effectively prevent private data from leaking.

MarketWatch reported that data breaches soared by 17% in 2019. Many companies in 2019 didn’t password-protect their cloud-based data, which indicates that it remains largely unknown whether criminals ever accessed this data.

The number of reported data breaches rose 17% to 1,473 in 2019 from 1,257 a year earlier, according to a new report by the nonprofit Identity Theft Resource Center, suggesting that a trend-defying drop in data breaches recorded in 2018 was a mere “blip.”

What’s more, hackers have typically preyed on victims shortly after disasters or other negative global events around the world. COVID-19 pandemic is a typical situation, which has caused cyberattacks to rise shapely. During the pandemic, wisely choose channels to communicate with important people while working or learning from home is even more important than ever.

Keeping in touch with important people is essential as social distancing kept people isolated physically. However, it should be noticed that text messages are one of the most private but vulnerable user data.

How an encrypted messaging app can protect your data

CoverMe is a powerful communicating tool that lets you send end-to-end encrypted messages. You can send pictures and videos with CoverMe too. Messages on your phone will be hidden, and you can also configure your messages to self-destruct from your recipient’s phone after they have read it, or after a certain time.

There are several unique features of CoverMe making it an ultimate solution of privacy protection:

Access Control

CoverMe is protected by a strong password and it is very difficult for others to enter it even if you lend your phone to others or accidentally lose your phone. When someone tries to enter it with a wrong password, the app will record the information of the intruder by taking a photo and noting down the location. What’s more, you can set a fake password to mislead snooping eyes. When someone enters the fake password and try to log in, what he will see is an app with no personal information at all, that is, he won’t be able to see any of your contacts, private messages, call, photos, and so on. You can even set several different fake passwords.

Disguise

Users are allowed to disguise CoverMe as an ordinary photo album. Many of us are likely to send text messages when on the bus or waiting in a long line to kill time. The problem is that it’s normal to see someone snooping others’ phone on a public occasion where they might take a bus or waiting in line, and snoopers find satisfying by doing that. In that case, if you are sending private text messages with CoverMe, the best way to get rid of the prying eyes is to shake your phone so that CoverMe will disguise itself with ordinary photos. You can pretend to be browsing the usual pictures, which will effectively protect your privacy.
