Software developers have started working more and more on creating new applications for mobile users and their devices.

If you would like to spy on someone and check the ingoing/outgoing messages or get a look at the call logos, you can install the new “detective” software called FlexiSpy. Advertised by Vervata, a Bangkok based company, as a mean of monitoring kids and spouses, the software has already raised controversies.

Though such software already exists for the PCs and has created similar debates, this time security companies bring serious accusations considering this new product of being nothing else but a Trojan or a malicious program.

F-Secure for example, a security company, definitely considers the software as being dangerous and has already updated its security software for mobile phones to detect the program.

Why such a strong reaction against this FlexiSpy? It seems like the program installs itself without indicating what kind of application it is and once installed it hides itself from the user. If the soft ends up in the hands of an attacker he could easily send it to targeted phones via bluetooth. Statistics have shown that there aren’t just a few people who would take up spying as a hobby so more reason to consider this program as being dangerous.

Available for now only for cell phones that run the Symbian operating system, for example Nokia series 60 handsets, there is more to come as Vervata plans to release new soft in April for BlackBerry and Windows’s Mobile Pocket PC operating system. But the company is not to stop here as it also plans to release “FlexiSpy Pro‿ which is to have even more spying features included.

So, watch out, you could be spied on right now. You’d better update all your security software as it looks to be the single way out in fighting against those snooping people.
