Blackberry Mobile Spyware - The Monkey Steals the Berries

Blackberry Mobile Spyware - The Monkey Steals the Berries

<p>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 exfiltrate 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. Full source code to the spyware will also be released. Definition of the potential risk and threat involved in mobile related spyware is a requirement to implementation of security mechanisms. A fully functional reference code has yet to be presented and released that can be used in a positive manner. Until now only shady web sites selling compiled versions of spyware code for $100 or more dollars a copy exist. This is a future looking presentation that will help others learn about the security of their personal data in the time of mobile devices.</p>
