Cellphone spying

Cellphone spying software
Cellphone spying software is a type of cellphone bugging, tracking, and monitoring software that is surreptitiously installed on mobile phones. This software can enable conversations to be heard and recorded from phones upon which it is installed.[4] Cellphone spying software can be downloaded onto cellphones.[5] Cellphone spying software enables the monitoring or stalking of a target cellphone from a remote location with some of the following techniques:[6]

Allowing remote observation of the target cellphone position in real-time on a map
Remotely enabling microphones to capture and forward conversations. Microphones can be activated during a call or when the phone is on standby for capturing conversations near the cellphone.
Receiving remote alerts and/or text messages each time somebody dials a number on the cellphone
Remotely reading text messages and call logs
Cellphone spying software can enable microphones on mobile phones when phones are not being used, and can be installed by mobile providers.[3]

Occurrences
In 2005, the prime minister of Greece was advised that his, over 100 dignitaries' and the mayor of Athens' mobile phones were bugged.[4] Costas Tsalikidis, a Vodafone-Panafon employee, was implicated in the matter as using his position as head of the company's network planning to assist in the bugging.[4] Tsalikidis was found hanged in his apartment the day before the leaders were notified regarding the bugging, which was reported as "an apparent suicide."[4]

Detection
Some indications of possible cellphone surveillance occurring may include a mobile phone lighting up unexpectedly or when not in use, hearing clicking or beeping sounds when conversations are occurring and the battery being warm despite the phone not being used.[5]

Prevention
Preventative measures against cellphone surveillance include not losing or allowing strangers to use a mobile phone and the utilization of an access password.[5][6] Turning off and then also removing the battery from a phone when not in use is another technique.[5][6]
