Stalkers monitoring the smartphones of their target

[neku]

In the last few months, I am receiving threatening phone calls and smses on my smartphone only, though only few people have the number. Do criminals/stalkers track the smartphones of their target to harm the person?

I understand your concern, as receiving threatening calls and messages can be very distressing. In some cases, criminals or stalkers can track a mobile phone if they have certain knowledge or access to specific tools, such as spyware or malware. However, there are other possibilities, such as your data being compromised through leaks, or someone having access to your personal information and using that to contact you. The best course of action in this situation is to take security measures, such as changing your passwords, enabling two-step verification, and reporting the threats to the authorities. It would also be helpful to review the app permissions on your phone and consider having a security scan done by an expert. Protecting your privacy in these cases is crucial, and you shouldn't underestimate the seriousness of the situation.
