Make sure that NOBODY is listening to your phone calls

•  Governments protect themselves against espionage
•  Investors and Top Managers keep their strategies and  business plans secret 
•  Bankers and lawyers protect the confidential information of their clients
•  VIPs and persons of public interest are keeping their cellular communication private
•  The Cryptophone protects you, your family and your business from being investigated by third parties listening to your cellular conversation

Looking To Spy On A Cellular Phone?

Our advice: be prepared for such attacks. Never loose physical control over your cellular phone, do not accept if some one ( a "business partner"??) sends you a cellular phone as a gift. )

I know that when you hear the words "mobile phone eavesdropping", you think of some international spy-type stuff with James Bond. But I'm hear to tell you. The technology is here and it's here to stay!

So you’ve seen the title of this article and you’re thinking to yourself: What kind of loser eavesdrops on another persons cell phone conversation? And for what reason? Well my friend, you’d be surprised why people do the things that they do.

The wireless sensors, compulsory in new automobiles in the US since 2008, can be used to track vehicles or feed bad data to the electronic control units (ECU), causing them to malfunction.

Thousands of iPhone and Android apps may be phoning home with your personal info. Do you have a spy in your pocket?

And you thought those iPhone 4 signal problems were bad -- at last week's Black Hat conference, a San Francisco firm called Lookout Mobile Security revealed that third-party smartphone apps are stealing user information and (literally) phoning home with it. And by "home," I mean China.

LAS VEGAS -- A researcher released software at the Black Hat conference on Thursday designed to let people test whether their calls on mobile phones can be eavesdropped on.

The public availability of the software - dubbed Airprobe -- means that anyone with the right hardware can snoop on other peoples' calls unless the target telecom provider has deployed a patch that was standardized about two years ago by the GSMA, the trade association representing GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) providers, including AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S.

Most telecom providers have not patched their systems, said cryptography expert Karsten Nohl.

The GSM technology used by the majority of the world's mobile phones will get some scrutiny at next week's Black Hat security conference, and what the security researchers there have to say isn't pretty.

On Friday, an open source group released software that cracks the A5/1 encryption algorithm used by some GSM networks. Called Kraken, this software uses new, very efficient, encryption cracking tables that allow it to break A5/1 encryption much faster than before.

Companies failing to protect themselves from external attack risk losing their competitive edge. In the information age, the threat of industrial espionage is all too real, with thousands of jobs at stake in Germany.

Stu Bykofsky: Snoops can listen in on your cell phone chats


IT'S NOT the watching that is troubling Gloria, a retiree who asked that I not use her real name.

On her cell phone, someone's listening to her conversations - and it can happen to you.

How? With a device known by different names but often called Cell Spy Pro, advertised all over the Internet.

Several World Cup teams have hired private security companies to comb players' rooms for spy cameras and bugging devices in a bid to protect their game plans.

Security companies have confirmed that they have been hired to do daily de-bugging sweeps of rooms occupied by players, coaches and team management.

Even as a report in Outlook on the alleged tapping of the phones of political leaders and senior bureaucrats is creating ripples in political circles, the fact remains that ordinary citizens are vulnerable to eavesdropping what with the advanced equipment used for the purpose. The new off-the-air GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) monitoring device, which has been used to track calls in the present case as claimed by the magazine, can be deployed anywhere. The device needs no authorisation as the phone is not being tapped at the exchange; it is only the signals that are intercepted between the phone and the cellphone tower and recorded on a hard disk.
