Do you have the names of these programs?
Quick search on google will give you then
I know Big Brother is watching but I'm sure DOJ would have something to say as they need judges to sign warrants for wire tapping and the ACLU in The USA would be up in arms over rights to privacy.HD
But you would not know to do anythingThey are legal for us to put on our kids phone and also on our staff phones with out letting them knowAnd if a partner is worried do you really think bending a law matters to them or their legal rep when you go for a divorce
It's simple to avoid. Don't give your partner access to your phone. Keep it locked when not in use. Also any app like this does show on your apps menu so most people would notice an app they didn't put on themselves.
I know this is tipping the ladies off at mum net but better we know about itIf you have a smart phone and a suspicious wife this info might just be important to youThere are programs that are very cheap to buy that infect your phone with smart wareThey are a program that will email every text sent or received every email every web pageThey record every phone call and email themThey also ping your phones whereabouts to within 10 metersThey allow them to turn your microphone on so that they can listen to and record everything that is being said within listening distance of the phoneEven if your phone is off they can access the app and turn it onIt takes about 5 min to install there are no tell tale signs your phone is infectedThen everything will be sent to an email that they use when they register So be warned be smartPut a lock on your phone which you have to have for insurance and don't let her have it
All very simple for me, i dont use or need a Smartphone for punting so use an old basic Nokia that is second hand which i top-up in cash in shops and which is off except when arranging punts.As ever this type of thread is always useful for punters not aware of these things. The very technology that makes life easier than in my early punting days when i had to use phone boxes if i could find one working or that hadnt been pissed or shat in, is also the technology that can catch you out.
Forget all that. Your spouse is legally entitled to spy on you in whatever way they want to.I had a case where a wife had an outside company copy all her husbands computer disks without his knowledge, and contained within was very sensitive company information about his employer. It turned out there wasn't a thing they could do about it. All legal and above board.
I know we need to be careful but I think these kind of things are a bit overblown.
Agreed, if your missus is that paranoid then maybe you need to sack her the fuck off.Just saying.
Also Jailbreak / rooting is required for non OS apps like whatsapp, viber, gmail etc.
Turn off mobile data and wi-fi on punting phone, can't report anything then.Also Jailbreak / rooting is required for non OS apps like whatsapp, viber, gmail etc.Storm in a teacup
(removed whatsapp as soon as saw it gave out personal details)
that is indeed a major downside. there are security replacements but only if both parties use them, so a bit limited. And even with the best measures there is not much protection if someone else has access to someone's phone. The best would be to flash the whole thing to factory settings and put a damn secure lock on it (remembering to think up a good reason why you lock it!)
