Cell Phone Calls & Text Messages Interception

In the last few months we have been inundated with calls regarding the interception of cell telephone calls and text messages. There are many programs on the market and many more becoming available that allow people to monitor, track you and eavesdrop on you. Your cell telephone can be monitored by a remote eavesdropper who taps into your cell telephone and listens to your calls, your conversations or reads your text messages.

 A program called Flexispy can bug a cell telephone, allowing people to listen into your voice audio call and compromise your cell telephone converstaions. Your conversations can be heard from within the vicinity of your cell telephone even if you are not talking on the cell telephone. The microphone can be turned on in your cell telephone by a remote eavesdropper and then your conversations listened into from within the vicinity of where your cell telephone is sitting, eavesdropped on by a remote cell telephone from almost any where in the world.

Smart phones don't offer much protection and the spyware programs used to compromise them are inexpensive but they require someone to physically access your cell telephone in order to install the spyware program. Lovers, spouses, parents and coworkers are the victims.

To determine if your cell telephone is being eavesdropped on or intercepted there are signs that your cell telephone may have had spyware programs installed:

1. If your LCD screen flashes on and off without cause could indicate an incoming eavesdropper call.

2. If your cell telephone is warm and you haven't been using it or charging it, this could indicate unauthorised
transmissions.

3. If the cell telephone battery looses power in short periods of time for no reason at all, this could indicate
surreptitious communication.

4. Your monthly bill may show an unknown rise in sms or data transmission activity. This could indicate that
your cell telephone is being accessed without your permission or knowledge.

5. Maybe your cell telephone has been receiving text messages that don't make sense (for example,
<#*56><54321789>) which could indicate failed attempts to send systems commands.
