Secret Application on Smart Phones

A really important article and corresponding YouTube video exposing what could be some very disturbing news about a seemingly secret and ever present application on Blackberry, Android, and Nokia phones.

This application seems to log every key you press, every website you visit (regardless of https or not) and every call and SMS message you send and receive as well as every place you physically go. This information is reported to a program that you can't detect easily, can not remove, and will send this information to a company you never heard of.

The article from the register is found here:

The youtube video is here:



I'll be following this issue closer...I've been considering moving into the 21st century and getting a smart phone, but this makes me much less eager.

  1. iPhone apps development can be a great business but apps can be remained unnoticed in the store if you will not promote it through right channel or media.
