BlackBerry PhoneSnoop Application Used to Spy on Users

Original release date: October 27, 2009 at 11:59 am
Last revised: October 27, 2009 at 11:59 am


US-CERT is aware of public reports of a new software application
called PhoneSnoop. This software allows an attacker to call a user's
BlackBerry and listen to personal conversations. In order to install
and setup the PhoneSnoop application, attackers must have physical
access to the user's device or convince a user to install PhoneSnoop.

US-CERT encourages users to only download BlackBerry applications from
trusted sources and to password protect and lock BlackBerry devices.
