This story was on the local news and it was quite an eyeopener!! Did you know that someone in five minutes can download a program to use your cell phone as a microphone to stalk you or spy on you?! It only has to be on and you do not have to be making a call or using it at the time. We have all laid our cell phones on the table thinking nothing about it while discussing private matters. Who is listening?!
Carla Robinson's ex-boyfriend has stalked her for three years. Nobody could figure out how he was able to track her every move, her every conversation, especially when he was often out of state.
The FBI even checked her car for bugs, but, found none, but The News On 6 discovered how he could have turned her cell phone into a high-tech snooping device. Robinson allowed The News On 6 to download the software onto her cell phone.
The News On 6 asked Robinson and a friend to talk over coffee. Robinson was not using her cell phone, it was just sitting nearby.
~snip~
The entire conversation between Carla Robinson and her friend was heard through the microphone on Robinson's cell phone, and she has no way of knowing.
As long as they talk they can be heard. It doesn't matter where you are, you can be miles away or even out of state.
