This is the title of an article under the topic "Scam Alert: When smartphones tap your conversations" written by Sid Kirchheimer and published in the AARP** Bulletin issued for the month of January-February 2011.
In summary the author warns us that "using spyware other people can hijack your phone that allows them to hear your calls, see your text messages, e-mails, phographs and files, and track your location through constant GPS updates." There are warning signs to help you check if your phone is infected.
But Tim Wilcox, owner of International Investigators Inc. says that "Your best defense is to buy a $20 phone with prepaid minutes for your sensitive conversations."
