IPhone, iPad also installed spyware


Apple confirmed the information the previous IOS versions support software "spyware" Carrier IQ .


However, Apple ensures that the software has been removed from "almost all equipment installed iOS5", such as the iPhone 4S. And in the future, Carrier IQ is removed completely from the IOS operating system.

Prior to Apple, the largest series of brand on the mobile market have to broadcast an official statement links between them with Carrier IQ software. It started late last week, when an Android users warned the public about a little-known software but pre-installed on many phones. This software can track and record every user's data, from text messages, email to other important documents.

Concussion 140 million smartphones were stalking
Spyware is Android developer named Trevor Eckhart unexpected finding, while hundreds of millions of smartphone users, including Android, Nokia and BlackBerry have been surpassed.
The situation becomes more serious when the Carrier IQ, the company behind spyware, threatening lawsuits against detection. Even later, before the backlash from public opinion, Carrier IQ has the intention to withdraw the above but multiple networks such as Verizon, Vodafone, O2 and Nokia phone companies now have to justify registration.

According to several newspapers, Carrier IQ has signed contracts with phone companies and mobile network providers large to gather and synthesize information for the purpose of early diagnosis of problems with services (eg as the signal drops, the battery fault ...). However, this collection is obviously too far, where all operations with the user's keyboard were recorded.

There is much evidence that both the iPhone and the iPad, two devices on the market leading smartphone and tablet today, Carrier IQ support. That's why Apple to broadcast emergency announcements, contrary to common silence before all the rumors and predictions.

Prior to Apple, Microsoft also publicly announced Windows Phone completely "clean" before Carrier IQ.
