Secret spyware found in smartphones from China>>>Beware!!!
Secret spyware found in smartphones
June 18, 2014,

Spy software has been reportedly found on smartphones that could allow a hacker to steal personal data, make calls or turn on the phone's camera.

A cheap brand of Chinese-made smartphones carried by major online retailers comes pre-installed with espionage software, a German security firm said Tuesday.

G Data Software said it found malicious code hidden deep in the propriety software of the Star N9500 when it ordered the handset from a website late last month. The find is the latest in a series of incidents where smartphones have appeared preloaded with malicious software.

I do find your comment "interresting" considering you are posting as an A/c.

Anyone that feels the need to listen in on my phone calls has really got too much time on their hands.

And I never use my phone to do personal business on.

It looks like you sure did, but the article I found doesent identify the phones it is referring to as fake anything.

Just wondering if there might be more than just the one or maybe there could be more.

If its a planned "operation" that could make some sense, sort of spread it about some and maybe distribute a lot more than just one type.

Its a thought.

let me make this simple for you people.

every website that has anything like a + (google) or thumbs up (facebook) to share the website, in one way or another tracks you as soon as you get to the page. so it know from what page you came here. all info there is about you while your browsing and finaly where you are going.

the average website has between 5 to 7 different companys tracking their page. from google doing this with adware. to facebook and twitter and others that are features on the website.

dont worry about the small stuff is what im trying to say


fact is. websites like facebook and many other dont just record what you post. also what you type but chose not to post. they say its a 'draft' function to remember it but obviously that info gets used aswell to find out what people want to post but chose not to.

I believe that he is too, but cookies are lots different from installing "spyware" whenever I visit GLP.

Smartphones sold with malicous software are a lot different from simple tracting of IP addresses or even some data mining that goo..le migh be getting up to, and you dont have to use it to do your searches.

I use "Startpage.com", for my searches, and they do NOT track anything.
