Maybe I’ve watched too many Bourne movies but this hack scares the hell out of me. Its always been assumed that with some amount of hacking your simple phone can help locate you through GPS and help big brother zero in on your activities (as if you have something to hide). This goes a bit too far, watch the video and you will see a security consultant undress your iPhone so far even it blushes. He even illustrates how a simple iPhone can record phone conversations, browsing habits, email, and even record the rooms ambient noises when it appears to be off. When a hacker wants at the information it can then be hustled to whomever wants your information via EVDO internet. Suddenly every office meeting is subject to recording, the arguments with your wife are fair game, and every word you utter could be recorded and used against you. I personally don’t own a iPhone but the technology behind my Treo 700wx is basically the same, leaving everyone with smartphones vulnerable. I for one have accidentally called others when my smartphone dialed someone from within my pocket and can relate to having sensitive conversations heard unexpectedly but this is a whole new level of privacy invasion via Smart Phone. With less than a half an hour with your iPhone or smart phone a hacker can have access to some of the most intimate moments of your life, and choose to use them as they see fit. Suddenly your friendly iPhone sitting next to you is looking more and more menacing.

Worse than my iPhone tattling on me is that menacing stare of that hacker, creapppy. If thats what a hacker looks like I’m selling my iPhone and using smoke signals.
That guy looks like a child molester. I bet he made that hack for himself…
What next? Two way (activedigital video) Don’t take your cell phone in the bedroom and don’t forget the digial “interactive TV’s starting 2009. Better get a blanket to cover them up and put a loud radio on top of the TV–Yes, it will be two (2)way, that’s right, you can see them (the TV program) and they will be able to see you and your significant other in your bedroom. The newest peeping Toms, the NSA!!!!!!
Fascinating. Great Article thanks!
Andrew - I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard at a blog comment.
Technology is making privacy a quaint, old fashioned idea. Unless everybody agrees to play by the rules.
Why is the amr audio different the the ‘recorded’ audio from the iPhone? The audio is close but not exactly what was spoken. Explain…
Got something to say?
