FBI using Carrier IQ

2011-12-13 18:00:39.108337+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

FBI is using Carrier IQ to spy on cell phone use. Apple's closed ecosystem, controlling what you can and can't run on your phone, seems to be good for keeping malware off the device. But I think with Carrier IQ and similar we're seeing the other side of closed devices and operating systems.
