NA cellphone anti-privacy software

Rule # 1..... ALWAYS have a private personal cell phone for personal stuff... Never use a company phone unless it is work related.

Rule #2....... Always follow rule #1.

Rant off.

Doesn't seem legal to me.

As much as I could use it to keep track of my teenager I wouldn't use it.

Plus if you can use it on someone, then someone can just as easliy use it on you.

The only winner here is the company that developes the software to tell you if your phone is bugged.

What we really need is a device that will lower the price of fuel at the pump, now that's something I'll be willing to pay $49.99 for.
 
That level of distrust and snooping indicates that there is a much bigger problem just under the surface.
 
On the news site I first noticed this software being discussed, it had reader comments at the bottom. One poster said that if his/her mother had this on her phone she would have been killed as his/her violent father would have tracked her down to a shelter for abused women. brrrr.
 
Are we sure this is legit? The OP's link goes to a page with a "Buy Now" button where you fill in your purchase information...but it's my understanding that Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to be sold outside of iTunes, and the product clearly says it's available on iPhone.

Even subscriptions outside of iTunes are not allowed, so this seems fishy to me.

EDIT: There's a hint on their FAQ for iPhones that it requires a jailbroken phone. That would free them from iTunes, but still seems shady that they'd require that.

If it was your personal phone it would be illegal unless you signed off on the program... If it is a company phone the employer has every right to track his/her property..... :ihih:
 
This brings something else to mind, is there a spam software program for Android phones? I'm starting to get a lot of spam e-mails on my smart phone that aren't coming through Outlook. For some reason, Outlook blocks them, but they still come to my cell.

Sorry if off topic.

If y'all only knew.....

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Rule # 1..... ALWAYS have a private personal cell phone for personal stuff... Never use a company phone unless it is work related.

Rule #2....... Always follow rule #1.

And ALWAYS use a private personal computer for personal stuff.... Never use a company computer unless it's work related. Always remember that so-called secure links (SSL & HTTPS) can be intercepted at your company firewall.

And even at that (with both a personal cellphone and personal computer) it may well not be enough.

Ah. So all you have to do to surreptitiously spy on someone's iPhone by installing this software and hoping they dont' notice is to surreptitiously jailbreak their iPhone and hope they don't notice.

Why don't you just surreptitiously replace the iPhone with a cleverly disguised replica with a microphone and camera bug inside?
