They got the boys in the crime lab working in shifts..............

Fucking nazis, human paraquats! Nothing ever changes!

A security researcher has posted a video detailing hidden software installed on smart phones that logs numerous details about users' activities.

In a 17-minute video posted Monday on YouTube, Trevor Eckhart shows how the software ? known as Carrier IQ ? logs every text message, Google search and phone number typed on a wide variety of smart phones - including HTC, Blackberry, Nokia and others - and reports them to the mobile phone carrier.

Check out the leads here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T17XQI_AYNo&feature=player_embedded

QuoteFor those few who have not read anything about the CarrierIQ drama going on in the mobile-tech industry, here is a brief summation: the bottom line is that a security researcher at XDA, Trevor Eckhart (TrevE), found what is basically tracking software loaded at the kernel level on devices by HTC, Samsung, and others (it may even be in Apple's iOS). The software is from a company called CarrierIQ. He shared his findings with the mobile community. After he did that, the company CarrierIQ, threatened him with a "cease and desist" legal action letter. They claimed copyright infringement (related to his reposting of their public available training materials), then demanded he replace his post with a full retraction and issue the same retraction as a press release.

Fucking eh, nothing, ever changes. Nothing like having a software version of the gestapo hidden in your cell phone.
