Is My Cell Phone Bugged? Everything you need to know to keep your mobile conversations private. Smartphones are mini computers. Spyware can turn your phone into a bugging, tracking and snitching device. This book shows you: how you can determine yourself if you have spyware on your phone, what to do about it, and what not to do. Additional chapters explain other mobile communications vulnerabilities. Comes with a SpyWarn Mobile™ transmission detector which shows you when your phone is transmitting, a private web page for further information, and an opt-in newsletter for late breaking updates.
