Does Mobile Spy App Take Tracking Too Far?
Dangerous Application for Smart Phones
Extracts a Person’s Information from Their Phone
Source acquired via i4u.com, May 14, 2010 – monitoring a child’s or employee’s cell phone has been possible for some time now, but a new app created by Retina-X Studios makes retrieving someone’s cell phone information a whole lot easier. Mobile Spy was created in order to provide a “completely stealth monitoring program” for those who wish to spy on another person. The app takes only a few minutes to download, but it can do a world of damage.
One of the Worse Kind of Stealth Applications
Once the Mobile Spy app is downloaded onto a cell phone, or other, device, it’s nearly impossible to detect the spyware. After the app has been downloaded, the person who installed the app can log onto an online control panel that lists all kind of private information. Information such as sent and received emails, texts, call logs, and even a person’s location (via GPS tracking) can be viewed. All of these features were a part of the original Mobile Spy app, but the newest version of Mobile Spy is even more invasive.
Mobile Spy 4.0 now has the ability to download every photograph, text message, and email that is sent to a personal phone. In addition, items such as calendar events, personal memos, and contact details can also be viewed online. All of these things make it easy for a person to monitor another person’s cell phone usage, track a person’s location, and even view private information. The Mobile Spy app also makes it relatively easy for a company or person to collect phone numbers and address information.
New Ground Has No Laws
Since there are no laws against applications of this type, it’s difficult for law enforcement authorities to prevent people from using programs such as Mobile Spy. For a mere fee, this application can be purchased by anyone, and it can be used to track any person. While the application was originally invented for employers who want to track employees and parents who want to keep an eye on kids, this type of application is now being used by all kinds of people.
For instance, Mobile Spy is the perfect application for a child abductor or sexual predator. These criminals can easily track a teen’s or child’s whereabouts, locate a child’s friends, and even see photographs of children. As with many applications that were invented in order to keep children safe, the Mobile Spy application may actually cause a lot of damage. Parents who are considering using this type of spyware should think twice before installing Mobile Spy on a child’s phone.
