Blackberry Also Affected Vulnerable Spyware
The threat to the security system on the iPhone very often we hear. But it does not necessarily make other smart phones such as BlackBerry immune to attack spyware or malicious applications.
Senior observer from Veracode Research Lab Tyler Shields wrote a report on spyware named TXSBBSpy that allows users to control a mobile phone Blackberry belongs to someone else, for example, ordered that the Blackberry is the target for sending SMS. The entire list of contacts on the Blackberry that can be copied and sent via email without the knowledge of the owner of the Blackberry.
In experiments conducted Shields, with spyware is a cell phone belonging to a participant can instruct his BlackBerry to send an SMS to a mobile phone. Not only that, participants can access all the activities carried out the Blackberry, such as knowing each list of outgoing calls and SMS coming in, and keep track of the location where it is located by using GPS real time on the Blackberry, even eavesdrop on conversations in progress and record it .
“My goal is to show how easily creating mobile spyware,” said Shields released the source code explain the purpose of this spyware.
“TXSBBSpy can retrieve all data from the Blackberry and send it melalalui SMS or email to web servers, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), UDP (User Diagram Protocol) or network connection anywhere,” said Shields.
To be able to control the Blackberry a phone belonged to someone else, first spyware should be installed to a Blackberry which became the target. The trick is, by sending an email containing a link to the victim of spyware. Spyware will automatically installed when the victim of spyware to access a link provided via email.
Shields also reminded Spyware like this can be hidden through a variety of applications that seem to be downloaded from the store safe and competent application.
