The makers of Mobile Spy like to tout their tool for secretly tracking
calls and text messages on smart phones as the perfect way to monitor
employees or teens or catch cheating spouses. According to F-Secure,
the service was also a way to leak sensitive information to anyone
with a web browser.

For $20 per month or $100 for a full year, the service will monitor a
single Windows-based smart phone. It's simple. Parents, employers or
jilted lovers install the Mobile Spy software on a handset, then see
every text message, incoming or outgoing phone number or web site
address that passes through it by accessing logs stored on the Mobile
Spy website.

But according to F-Secure, up until recently, private information that
was being monitored and was supposed to be available only to account
holders with a valid password was freely available to anyone using a
Mobile Spy demo account. Website URLs were configured to assign a
unique message ID, such as 643, to each account. By altering altering
the ID to, say, 34841, it was possible to read the text messages and
other data belonging to other account holders, F-Secure claims.
