Mobile Spy Ware The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
It wasn’t that long ago that mobile tracking became popular. Mobile tracking allowed the cell phone of a user to be activated so you could use the cell phone to find the person. This was thought of as a safety feature especially with the number of child and teenager abductions that were taking place. Being able to track your child’s phone when they went missing at least gave you a starting place to look for them and increased your chances of finding them alive.
Now cell phone tracking has reached a whole new level with mobile spy ware applications having been invented that could do a variety of things. Now you can do much more than simply tracking that cell phone. You can actually do cellphone monitoring including:
• tracking real time locations
• listening to recorded and live phone calls without the cellphone user knowing it.
• You can check web history
• check the contact details
• view videos and text messaging logs
• and there are even SIM cards made for mobile spying that allow you to check even for erased messages.
Since some of this mobile spy ware only takes minutes to download, all you need to do is to get hold of the person’s phone whom you want to monitor and download the spy ware. You can then monitor everything by simply logging into a special website. The person being monitored isn’t even aware that the software has been downloaded onto their phone.
Why Would You Want To Become A Mobile Spy?
There are a variety of reasons why someone might want to place cell phone spy ware on another person’s phone. Parents may choose to install this software program to better monitor their children and to help keep them out of danger or trouble. Just as a parent wants to know who their child’s friends are and where they are going, they may want to see who the child is speaking to in chat rooms, or sending text messages to and getting messages from.
Married people who suspect their spouse is cheating may also want to install this mobile spy ware. It is certainly cheaper than hiring a private detective and will allow them to know one way or other if their suspicions are correct. While this certainly breaks the bonds of trust between a couple, the injured party may never find out they are being spied on.
In extreme cases, a coworker may get a hold of your phone for the few minutes it takes to download the spy ware application and use it to stalk you actually placing you in a very dangerous situation.
While tracking software was a good idea because it did increase safety, these new applications of mobile phone spy ware really serve no really good and honest purpose. The simple fact is that if you can’t trust your child to use a cellphone responsibly then he probably should not have to begin with. If you can’t trust your spouse then your marriage is already failing, and if you are planning to use this type of soft ware to become a mobile spyor stalker then you may be breaking the law.
