Smurfs - hacking any smartphone
Former NSA contractor and a global surveillance informants told a BBC Panorama program about the fact that the British agency GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) has the authority to crack any smartphones without the knowledge of their owners. The British spy agency has special tools that allow them to take control of your smartphone vsevolisch with a text message and there is little you can do to prevent it.
! By sending just one text message spy tools allow you to:
- Listen to what is happening in the room
- View files and web history
- Viewing messages and photos
- Download secret photos of smartphone owners
- Pinpoint the location of the (higher level than the usual GPS)
In other words, these tools allow authorities to monitor your every move and every conversation, even if the smartphone is turned off.
Set of instruments according to Snowden, called «Smurf Suite», and each of the individual tools has its own name and functions:
- Dreamy Smurf - Allows you to enable or disable the smartphone.
- Nosey Smurf - Allows the spy agency to include a microphone and listen to the conversations of users, even if the phone itself is turned off, as they have other tools to enable it.
- Tracker Smurf - This is a geolocation tool that allows spies to follow you with great accuracy.
- Paranoid Smurf - to hide the fact that someone took control of the smartphone.
Even the user can not see the text message, which is used to gain access to the smartphone, and you can not even notice how you received a message on the phone.
This specially crafted message sent to your room, as well as the usual other messages, but when a message arrives on your phone then it is hidden from you, it is not displayed. You paid for a smartphone, but the one who controls your smartphone, owns it.
God Luck.
