You are being Stalked

Today I got this through an email.

About phone tapping without you even knowing it, listening to your conversation, knowing where you are and even when you are not using the phone, just outside talking, they can actually activate your speaker and listen all in! Please click the link below to watch it as embedding is not allowed.

On THR.com (for those who can't access YouTube) - This may come to an commercial first, after the commercial it will show you the video:
Tapping Your Phone on THR.com

Let me know what you think because I am a little confuse on whether they require to get a hold of our mobile to install the software or not. But base on the investigation it seems like it does.

Edited in on 14th August 2009;
Looks like they do need acquire our mobile phone to install the software into our mobile. But it is a wonder if they can actually send a software claiming to be something bla bla and ask you to save, and when you save the software, they would of got it in. So please be wary of what you click save for and always keep your mobile at sight.

reanaclaire : Yea there are so much things happening now... we need to warn and caution everyone we know. We never know if it will happen to anyone of us!

Wifi hp? I also don't know how to use... I am using HTC Touch too, but I rather use computer for my blogging and all haha.

Yeah lah the Telekom R made my blood boiled! Yes she used how much instead of how many hahaha... I noticed that too, hence why I said the "Press English got transferred to her" part haha.

ladyviral said...

Anonymous : Yes that works too, but that is something you need to accept to authorize that person and that cannot listen to your calls or even listen to your conversation by hacking your mobile speaker...

Unknown said...

Ayie said...

cherie said...

these crazies scare me to death, so i delete and block them right away....

Bengbeng said...

this has many uses. ppl got to b careful what they download

Tekkaus said...

Perhaps...they installed the software when we received the SMS, MMS or etc. I believe this thing can happens. The advancement of Technology is really beyond our imagination right now. :D

Tekkaus said...

Anyway I like visiting your blog. Because I have the same theme as yours. :D have a nice weekend Ladyviral.

Tekkaus said...

I just wanna let you know that I am following your blog and I have added you to my blogroll. :D

Jean said...

ladyviral said...

Ayie : Well, that wasn't so bad... least it was like eavesdropping on everyhting the conversation was going on about haha.

renaye said...

IT in this modern age makes anything and everything possible.

ladyviral said...

cherie : Ha same here! That or I usually rename them and when they call or what-so-ever, I will know. Crazy people! But the scary part is when they stalk...>.<

ladyviral said...

BengBeng : I couldn't agree with you more. It is really dangerous, guess we need to see carefully before just pressing that "OK" button.

ladyviral said...

Tekkaus : Yea it can happened... eventually I mean I do encounter a few times where I actually just click save without looking what the content of the SMS is... now I guess I will be more caution about it.

Hahah same theme indeed! I thought I had you in my blogroll for sometime now, but I was wrong.. my mistake hehe... Just added you up in my rolls. :)

Thanks for coming over here and of course commenting too! ^_^

ladyviral said...

SJ : you can say that again. Science and Technology is meant to be something that is good for mankind, but so many people misuse it and it all ends up like this.

Ayie said...
