While it hasn’t been advertised to a great degree, mobile spy application development has been going on for many years now. From simple application that will get your contacts list to more sophisticated applications that will track your location are all available on the market for anyone to buy.

There has been cases where mobile spy application have been used by criminals and even pedophiles. Mary Smith (name changed) had mobile spy application installed on her phone while at work without even knowing it. Person that actually installed it, later turned out to be her co-worker. Couple days later Mary started receiving harassing messages stating her location and who she talked to. After several months of trying to deal with her stalker, Mary decided to have her phone checked. After doing some forensics on her phone, a mobile spy application has been discovered. Investigating the matter even further showed the person that installed the application. As was later discovered her co-worker had a crush on her for a long time and after unsuccessfully trying to ask Mary out decided to take a different approach.  Today Mary can talk about the incident calmly; however, at the time when it happened she was having a nervous breakdown as she later said. Despite the fact that its’ all behind her, a feeling that someone is constantly watching her has not fully left her to this day.

Mary is not the only victim of mobile spy software. While not widely publicized, mobile spy application sales go up every year. It takes couple minutes to install it and it costs less than your gym membership.

If you suspect that you have been a victim of mobile spy phone application and your boyfriend / girlfriend or even your spouse has installed a ‘bug’ on your phone, have it checked by IDF Task Force and don’t be a victim.
