Anyone who likes movies that involve technology must have seen in some of them software that connected the mobile phones without the user knowing, captured information and sent them to a certain recipient.
Well, they can stop the movies for a moment because that's already real. More and more very advanced espionage.
Now there is the news that the "FinFisher", British company espionage software Gamma Group went to the wrong hands. Yes, the source code for this dangerous software (read below) has gone to the hand of hackers who may be using it to get information from you at any time.
Among the capabilities of this spy software that is available for all top platforms (iOS, Android ...) we can highlight:
- Possibility to activate the microphone to record your conversations
- Track location using GPS
