iPhone Spyware Gets More Sophisticated
Spyware on the iPhone hasn't evolved quite as far as that on your Windows PC, but iSpyware is slowly becoming a real danger. Until now, spyware and viruses on the iPhone have been primarily proof-of-concept applications that would be difficult if not impossible for a user to accidentally install. Installing one of these baddies required a jailbroken phone, input from the user, and the apps left an icon on the home screen alerting everyone to its presence. Now a piece of malicious software called Flexispy is getting ready to be unleashed upon the populace. Though the spyware still requires a jailbroken iPhone, it appears to require no user interaction and leaves no visible trace behind. Flexispy is particularly nasty too: It tracks text messages, e-mails, call logs, and can even pinpoint your exact location via GPS.
