iPhone, BlackBerry, and other devices have become more popular, harmful software
such as viruses and spyware is emerging to exploit their vulnerability. Cheaters
beware. In late October, Indonesian developer released mobile-phone software
that can help someone eavesdrop on your conversations.


A distrusting partner or spouse can secretly download the free
application, called PhoneSnoop, onto your BlackBerry, remotely turn on the
microphone, and listen to conversations held in proximity to the device.
PhoneSnoop, downloaded more than 2,000 times since its release, is one of a
growing number of applications that can be downloaded onto a smartphone without
a user’s knowledge. FlexiSPY similarly can be downloaded onto Research In
Motion’s BlackBerry or the Apple  iPhone.


Smartphones and the growing number of people using them are
becoming a bigger target for unauthorized and potentially harmful software,
including worms, viruses, and spyware that tracks a user’s Web activity. The
smartphone security threat “is imminent,” says a principal analyst at consultant
Infonetics Research.
