Description: Spyware has become a primary tool used in the capture of personal and private data. Surreptitiously installed on the computing system of a target victim, spyware can capture, log, monitor, and ex-filtrate any data that the spyware owner desires. Your phone holds all of the same personal information as your computer, only in a smaller form factor.
While a number of "vendors" sell Blackberry spyware, until now only a limited number of public code examples exist. Real time capture of SMS messages, Emails, and phone call logs are a fraction of the features to be presented.
This is a future looking presentation that will help others learn about the security of their personal data in the time of mobile devices.
