But these celebrities’ private photos weren’t even sent to personal acquaintances who then shared the images without permission; these celebrity photos were hacked. Hacking into someone’s personal image gallery is easy, which is why it’s so important to store your most private photos in Private Gallery. Private Gallery lets you protect sensitive photos with a second password. Additionally, once you move photos to Private Gallery, they are removed from your normal photo app for extra protection.

But how is it that it’s so simple for hackers to gain access to your private photos? Here, we’ll talk about three common ways hackers can retrieve your private photos.

Hacking Email

If you send personal photos through email, it’s easy for hackers to gain access to them. Some hackers can figure out how to get into your personal email by trying random combinations of your name — or if you’ve sent them an email — using that with the forgotten password helper. If you have a common password, then, it isn’t hard for them to gain access.

Using a Cell Provider

Common providers like AT&T and Verizon can give hackers a way to access your phone. If a hacker knows your phone number, he or she can then use the “Forgot My Password” feature on the cell provider’s website to break your password. Also, if you have an obvious PIN number, the hackers can break into it. Finally, if you have simple security question answers, they can also unlock your password quite easily.

Spoofing

If you’re sending private photos to someone, beware. It can be easy for hackers to “spoof” — or replicate — a cellphone number of the person to whom you want to send the photos. There are a number of online services and Caller ID apps that let hackers spoof another person’s phone number and operate as if they are the person to whom you intended to send the photos.

You don’t want to let any photos you wouldn’t want your mother to see stay unprotected on your phone. Instead, put them into a password-protected Private Gallery to keep them to yourself.

How to Create a Private Gallery

  1. Open DFNDR on your phone.
  2. Click on “Tools” and then on “Privacy.”
  3. Tap “Private Gallery.”
  4. Create a default, safe password. If you have not enabled this feature, the app will ask you to draw a default password and then repeat it to confirm.

It’s important to note that the Private Gallery feature will remove the selected photos from your main image gallery in order to put them into the private gallery. If for some reason you want to uninstall the application, you must return all of the photos to the main image gallery. If you don’t do this, you will lose all of the files from the private gallery.

How to Remove Photos from Your Private Gallery

To clear photos from your Private Gallery and return all of the photos to your main image gallery, simply select the photos you want to remove. Then, touch the top right of the screen, which indicates that you want to “return” these images.
