Cell Phone Spying Nightmare: 'You're Never the Same'
I found this article on ABCNEWS.COM. The article is explaining how easy it is to put CIA style tracking software on your gps enabled smart phone.
My first response to this was, I wonder how many people didn't even know this kind of thing was available until ABC blabbed it to the whole nation. I guess I am doing the same thing blogging about it. I suppose the cat's out of the bag now anyway.
Although this article is disturbing, I am more disturbed that it was on national television. This is not too different from the news segment showing how check washing was being done and how easy it was to get the chemicals. They showed step by step how it was being done. Then there was a spike in check fraud months later. Ditto with the spy software on cell phones.
No one should be surprised when searches for this software skyrocket and they sell a kagillion downloads. At least ABC went through a few tips for identifying that you have been hacked and what to do about it.

If there is a way to get information about someone, someone will find it. Not much surprises me these days. But what does, is how the news can tell evreyone about it and at the same time how to do it. It's like the Gulf War, all Iraq had to do was watch CNN and they what were doing. News agents need to learn when to be quiet.
