Mobile phone spyware and malware are not new. In fact, a Computer Weekly article, “Mobile phone spyware – it’s here,” warned back in 2006 that “there is evidence that malware writers are now actively working on developing their own mobile spyware.” The same article also said that “the likelihood of an individual user getting targeted is pretty low.” Well, welcome to 2011.
In the most recent issue of AARP Bulletin, January-February 2011, an article, “The Spy in Your Hand,” author Sid Kirchheimer, indicates that all someone has to do is get the unsuspecting mobile phone user to click on a link that has been forwarded by the spy and the intruder can hear calls, see messages and track that user’s location.
Legal and Illegal Ramifications of Mobile Phone Spyware
According to Kirchheimer’s article, mobile phone spyware is illegal in the United States. Unfortunately, it is sold by overseas websites. However, there is an even bigger problem that manufacturers have foisted upon an unsuspecting public: legal smart-phone spyware apps.
