Govt. listening through cell phones

[puddlemonkey]

This thread is just a breeding ground for paranoid people.

ALTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got a website that shows how to do it?? my god I could screw with my friends!!!.........

Old news.....


Cell phones can run standardized code such as java... even if it was strictly proprietary code... You have a microphone, a digital transport....

it's not just the government that can activate the microphone.

The right skills and private citizens can not only eavesdrop on you they could:

1. Activate your microphone and port the audio to a phone of their choice for listening.
2. Track your GPS coordinates.
3. Turn on the 'SPEAKER' and speak to you.
4. Change your ring tone to a recorded message that they uploaded to your phone.
5. Etc.

It's a flexible platform, it's limitless and the cell providers don't give a fuck about security.

6. TAKE PICTURES / VIDEO OF YOU WITH THE BUILT IN CAMERA. I forgot. that one.


I got alot of inquires about this via K, etc.


Beleive it nugs, not saying that *I* can do it off hand - it would take a considerable concerted effort requiring some programing skills and knowledge of some proprietary networks I do not currently have. But it can / has / will be done.

Here's an example of a family that was terrorized by some fools via their cell phones.

My specialty would be more in preventing / detecting such attacks, and or tracking down the douch nips that did it. Although, personally - i'd rather go after that assplants that LET that shit happen that the perps themselves... but apparently it's not a crime.
