FBI spooks use MALWARE to spy on suspects' Android mobes - report
Found on The Register on Friday, 02 August 2013
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is using mobile malware to infect, and control, suspects' Android handsets, allowing it to record nearby sounds and copy data without physical access to the devices.
The usual techniques of not opening unknown attachments or unsigned downloads should protect you against the FBI, just as it would against any spear-phishing attempt.
It's getting more annoying every day to see how the feds have gone out of control.
