Guest newbornlife Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Hello everyone, I am not sure if this is the right place for this post so I apologize in advance if it is not, There have been two distinct news stories in Greece the last couple of months about 2 different guys selling wiretapping software online for smartphones. Details are scarce but the story goes that the targeted smartphone receives an irrelevant txt message (eg: hi, or an advertisement) which after opening installs some sort of software allowing the wiretapping, without alerting the user of the smartphone. these two guys seem to have a great deal of revenue from that software, or so the news say, which probably indicates that the software worked. (Of course since wiretapping software is illegal, I am not sure how you would get your money back if it didn't work). And my questions are: How does this happen? any theories on how it works? Is there a remedy for that (antivir, antimal) ? would anyone know which operating system is susceptible to such software? is this attack, device or OS related? would a wipe or reformat eliminate such danger? and finally :ninja: is there a torrent for it? :lol: PS a few years back we had a wiretapping issue but that time there was cooperation with an insider from within the mobile carrier. A man committed "suicide" and nobody went to prison. This time though things seem much easier. Any thoughts?
