By now I'm sure you know what spyware is, and how it privately sneaks onto your computer, and collects personal information. Did you know that there is even cell phone spyware now!
FlexiSpy is an 'activity logger' for mobile phones. That's someone else word for spyware. All operation such as sending and receiving Sms messages, call history, (incoming / outgoing), call duration, Gprs activity, and contact names in their address book that is related to each Sms and call.

At least FlexiSpy is operation monitoring software that needs to be consciously installed by a Human, who knows Exactly what the software does. It does Not self replicate, it does Not pretend to be something it is not, and it always requires aware human operation for instalation. Unfortunately this doesn't stop unethical habitancy from sending the program to phones via a Bluetooth relationship and trust that there are sufficient intriguing habitancy to setup it.
FlexiSpy must be consciously installed on the device by a user who has corporeal rights of that device. How many times have you installed spyware reasoning it was something else for your computer? I know I have! FlexiSpy sounds like the equivalent of a key logger on a computer.
FlexiSpy does not masquerade itself as something it is not, nor does it replicate itself as a virus would. But it is the beginning of something concerning. Spyware is manufacture that "jump" to phones, and that truly stinks. I guess it had to happen sooner or later. Just be weary of programs that you setup on your phone, as the next one could be a troublemaker!
