Spy In Your Pocket?

Spy In Your Pocket
By: Eric Everson, Founder MyMobiSafe.com

It’s finally becoming public knowledge that the average cell phone just isn’t that safe anymore. With advances in mobile snoopware many of today’s most popular cell phones can be easily hacked. One of the many frightening attributes of mobile snoopware that seems to be stimulating media attention is the ability to remotely activate the camera/microphone features of cell phones.

As the founder of MyMobiSafe.com, I assure you that this is a reality for anyone without a mobile security defense. Many articles lately have touched on the frightening reality that mobile snoopware has become such a threat. In a recent article on CNN.com that keeps resurfacing in my inbox, Jeff Cox states “From identity thieves to corporate raiders to jealous boyfriends, the world of smartphone spying is open to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of digital technology and the hundred bucks or so it takes to buy eavesdropping software on the Internet.”

Snoopware technology is not just a threat to SmartPhones, but all mobile devices. Mobile security is becoming a leading issue in the mobile community. Considering the reliance the general population has on mobile communications, the time to act is now to take steps to protect mobile security. If you own a cell phone take some time to review your mobile security options.
