Apart from Scan, the app contains a variety of features including Spy Shield, Privacy Shield, Data Shield, Network Shield, and Device Shield. The app’s advanced technology shields cyber-criminals from accessing, changing, destroying, or misusing users’ virtual data and activities in any way or form. It is built to safeguard data such as photos, videos, transaction passwords, social media accounts, and Wi-Fi networks against cyber-attacks of varied nature.
HackShield’s feature list extends to secure the devices even in case of theft, wherein a selfie of the intruder is clicked in case of numerous unsuccessful attempts to unlock it and is subsequently mailed to the user.
