FBI taps cell phone mic as eavesdropping tool
The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him......... http://news.cnet.com/2100-1029_3-6140191.html Google is Your friend... phaZed |

Re: Roving Bug
I have looked into this, and have found nothing at all except articles. No how to's, No removal techniques. Which leads me to believe that it must be a low level program installed somewhere on a "hidden" rom that we can't access normally. You would think if it was in winmo, someone would have found it by now, and it is in phones that don't even have winmo, hence the program installed on a "hidden" rom laying dormant until activated by remote signal that must be a generic signal identifier for the phones. Just my guess, but it's the only thing i can figure.
EDIT: Ok, so it looks like you have to have a phone that can do Over the Air updates for this to work. For the mobile phone as eavesdropping tool the OTA update function is not used to transfer firmware or other official software but rather "special" software which can offer one of the following features:
The person carrying the phone will not know that the phone is transmitting his conversation, but an observant owner may notice that the battery is being depleted sooner than expected. |
