u blew it this time dude.. im not saying it is happening right now.. i dont know.. but it is possible
Bro, there are phone viruses. Cell phones today come with the " Internet Browsers' that are linked to your phone book and the internet. Browsers can be hacked and through it you can make it do several weird things.
I agree with you that an agency can order special designed phone, with modified software, and give to who ever they want and use it to its capabilities.
One thing for sure the OS in phones do not have open registry like windows where entries can be made to corrupt the registry and none of the program files can be deleted or modified. So you can never have a telephone that is maliciously damaged by viruses.
What they are telling everybody, in this talk show, that anyone who have a cell phone your conversation with a party can be heard while your phone is idle. As far I am concerned this is false provided ISI have secretly designed those phones and all of them are for sale and people are not aware of it.
