well cell phone stuff shouldnt be hard to trace at all for the gov. they spy on them all the time! also...why would you not do something ealier about that? I would of already had a new number and maybe even carrier. This also proves why cellphones with all that fancy stuff are a waste, specially bluetooth phones, they can get hacked soooo easy. even if you "turn off" the blue tooth in a cell phone, its not really off and can still easily be hacked...this has been known since it was released in phones.

When I first read it, I thought "hoax"....but cell phones do allow such remote activation http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6140191.html

But here's my question? Why don't they just dump the cell phones altogether? I mean its not a necessity - use a land phone. They know the cell phone is the problem, yet they still have them!

One more reason why I do not use a cell as my main phone. Will not give up my Lan Line... Maybe these people too should stop the cell service, get a normal phone line for awhile and then turn the cell back on at a later date.

Avast makes a virus scanner for PDA and Smart Phones... I wonder if that would catch this Snoopware?
