Privacy is the obsession of users in the world of purification and the Internet, as everyone seeks to penetrate systems and then exploit me Trade security vulnerabilitiesWe mentioned before that there is no such thing as Internet, communications and privacy at the same time. This is a difficult equation, but on our part we always strive to help the Arab user and educate him to reach the highest levels of safety in this technical world, so we mentioned many security information and advice and we continue in this article alerting users to other aspects In privacy, where recently some applications appeared that show the name of the caller even if he was not registered with you in the phone book, and soon such applications spread among a wide range of jailbreak owners (these applications are only downloaded to jailbreakers) and those interested in Cydia applications, Perhaps the most famous of these applications is the Whozcalling application and the NumberBook application, which some use to find out the name of the caller, even if he is not registered on his device, how can these applications do this? What is the danger?

Do you remember when we talked about some of the applications You pull your contacts listThese applications also perform this function, but because they are insecure applications and from companies that are not authorized by Apple, there are no restrictions on them, so you do what you want with your list of names, and in fact they collect a list of names from each person who installs the application and merge them together in a unified list that enables any user of this application to search for a name The owner of any number and it will appear to him in the event that another person owns the same application and owns the name of the owner of this number, then his name registered with it will appear on the phone of the other person, for example if you registered the name of your wife “the government or intelligence” and then she called any friend of hers who did not record her number The friend also owns these same applications. This application will appear. The name of the caller will appear as "the government or intelligence" as you registered it on your device.

We would like to point out that some may be fooled by this feature and think that it provides them with a wonderful service that they need, for example calling you a strange number that is not registered with you and you can know his name, but the truth is that such applications violate your privacy and not just yours, but violate the privacy of everyone who registered their number and wrote information about them. In your contacts, that is, you are very simply exposing your family, family, friends and business partners in front of all users of these applications by uploading your phone record, data and numbers of all your contacts on the company's servers with your knowledge or without your knowledge, and this is a disaster, especially in the case of women, and one of them may be called His relative or relative or one of his friends with a name that may cause embarrassment in the event that this name appears to another person. People with weak souls may use this application by experimenting with searching for different phone numbers until the name of a girl appears and calls her and speaks to her by her real name or a special name given to her by a friend who uses this application

We at iPhone Islam have warned us a lot not to take caution from some Cydia applications, despite the presence of a number of useful applications on this store, but most of these applications are not subject to Apple's policies and laws that impose them on the applications that are published through the legitimate channel to download the programs called the store Programs, and the reason for some software developers resorting to Cydia is that this unofficial store does not impose any restrictions nor follow any security measures, and some developers may take advantage of jailbreaking the device to access or modify device files or take actions on them that may infringe on your privacy or Compromise the security of your device. It is worth noting that such applications are widespread on many other platforms such as Android, BlackBerry, and Nokia.

We must fight these applications because they violate the privacy of the community and not only delete the application from your device, but if you know anyone who owns this type of application, tell him to delete your number and the number of everyone you know from his phone history or delete these applications that may lead to a major violation of privacy Society, especially an Eastern and conservative society like ours.

If you use this type of application, stop it immediately, and if you know one of its users, warn him
