Is your cell phone tapped?!
By Mohammed Almeshekah. Posted in Info. Security News, Privacy, Services | 2 Comments »Is you cell phone tapped? To get a flavor of what I meant by tapped check this video from here which will explain every thing, and don’t be surprised this business has been running for years.
It is more surprising to know that these phones can be cheaply bought from many places; check this for example on eBay. Moreover, you can by the software only and install it on the targeted mobile and do all sort of things; check this web site for example www.flexispy.com, which is one of the most well-know website who provide this service. It is important to know that this is illegal to do in many countries and you might be prosecuted for spying on someone.
After that. you’ll really realize that our privacy is under real threat and we should be more conscious about securing our devices. However, if you’re in doubt that you phone is taped have a look at this extracted paragraph from Indianapolis news, whom prepared this video, on some trivial checks:
“Based on WTHR’s test, here are some subtle signs that could suggest your cell phone is being secretly tapped:
- Cell phone battery is warm even when your phone has not been used
- Cell phone lights up at unexpected times, including occasions when phone is not in use
- Unexpected beep or click during phone conversation”
Sorry for not blogging frequently, that due to the fact that I’m really busy doing my Masters at RHUL.
As usual, I’d really like to see your thoughts and comments.
