As we know , Technology can do incredible job, and there have a news was talking about Mobile Spy, and I found it from-Security NBCNEWS.com.
The title is " 'Mobile Spy' app may be open to, yep, spying.
Do you think it is cool, like we always imaging something that we may have saw it in the movie or in your dream. Anyway, here is what Mobile Spy do: It is designed to let its customers monitor the information, including text messages, GPS location and call logs, of other phones installed with the app. That private info is then uploaded to the app user's account and can be viewed in any Web browser, either on a computer or phone.
Unfortunately for those doing the watching, Mobile Spy contains several srcurity vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to inject malicious code into the target's phone, via SMS message, and hijack their spy session, according to researchers at Vulnerability Lab, who disclosed the flaws.
Because the developers of Mobile Spy say it is available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone, the presence of a security glitch makes it a top target for exploitation.
To make things even more confusing, there are at least five separate Android apps in the Google Play store called "Mobile Spy," and none of them seem to be the one about which Vulnerability Lab issued its warning. Nor is there any app in the iTunes App Store by that name.
The Mobile Spy website states that iPhones must be jailbroken in order to install Mobile Spy, and hints that Android versions will need to be "side-loaded" from a PC. Usage licenses run from $50 for three months to $100 for a full year.
Anyone who jailbreaks an iPhone or sideloads Android apps is running a big security risk. And from the looks of the "Mobile Spy" apps that are in the official Google Play store, you probably shouldn't install them either.
I have some reservations about this, I don't know if I want someone just being able to look at their phone and know where I am, I feel like a certain amount of this is an invasion of privacy.
