Today, on my Note 2, I noticed a noise, and a half-second eyeball icon next to the time, that then vanished. Obviously, this is not right. I dig, and it appears someone has surreptitiously installed this Androspy (androspy.org) on my phone. Here's the deal, though, they claim it's for parents and such. Well, I'm an unemployed (not my boss, then, since I live off a trust,) 28 year old, and no one has access to my phone but I. This seems quite odd, since they say you need physical access. I emailed their tech support, and I know no one likes reading emails, but look at these people's gall, first response contains a gently caress YOU, and got this in reply:quote:support@androspy.org <support@androspy.org> Professionalism. So, I write them back, telling them I will be speaking to a lawyer and get: quote:support@androspy.org I'm going to speak to my lawyer about it, since they collect monthly fees from ~whomever~ has basically rooted my phone, but what gives here? Anyone have any idea? Obviously I yanked the battery after my CS degree assburgers buddy yanked anything that looked interesting on the phone, and am saving it as-is, so we can see more of what's up, but come on, what the gently caress? There isn't a person I can think of that would want to spy on me in this way. I work(ed) in medicine. Any clever ideas on diagnostics or, well, anything? This phone will never be used by me again, but anyone have any clue how to poke a stick at it Method Loser fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Jul 24, 2014 |

LastInLine posted:What are you asking here, exactly? Like what's the point of the thread or the question you need answered? For any ideas on seeing what files I may be able to snoop to see who's behind this. I know what I'm doing, but more knowledge before I lawyer up is never bad. Xenthalon posted:Why would you completely abandon the phone? Doesn't reset to factory settings work? Or completely wiping and reapplying a vendor rom? Because that phone could be called evidence. See, this androspy takes monthly payments for their service. Meaning whomever perpetuated this felony on me, was assisted by that company. I'm talking to my lawyer in the next few days, so if I wiped the phone, I'd have no evidence. I'm going to sue the poo poo out of someone if I can. Obviously the company changed their tune within 3 emails, from gently caress U [literally] to sending me their disclaimer, as if that means jackshit to me. They're afraid that they've hosed up already, which makes me happy. And keep in mind, I'm a dual citizen, US/Panama. I'm talking to my Panamanian lawyer, too. These androspy fucks are letting someone commit a felony, in their name, on a dual citizen. If I have a chance of winning, I'll file suit in both countries.

is about, but if they have a bunch of admin access on your phone you probably don't want to turn it on. If they realise there's trouble it's possible they could just remote wipe your phone, so you probably want to make sure the sim card is out and it never connects to wifi, until you've done your CSI bit anyway

atomicthumbs posted:Are you sure it wasn't your mom or dad? They may just be trying to look out for you if so! I'm loving 28. My father or mother have never even touched the phone, much less use this, I have no boss to snoop me (trust fund lolz.) That and: no reason to. My father was aghast, keep in mind he's a MD, mother a Pharm-D, and me an EMT. Medicine. This intusion makes mevery mad, and I have a good-rear end, internationally working, lawyer I don't know why, but someone's committing a huge falony wiretapping me, and the company is culpable since it goes through their servers and the felon pays monthly fee to them. I'm uing the gently caress out of SOMEONE here.

LastInLine posted:The answer is that with the phone off you can snoop none of the files. The phone was cloned onto a computer (what I meant by pertinent files--- ALL of them,) then had its' battery removed. I have access to all the files that were on it, but this AndroSpy hides pretty loving well.

None of my friends would do this, and were aghast and got paranoid about their poo poo when I told them what is up. Either way, if there's a legal way, I'm suing the unholy gently caress out of that company, and during subpoenas I will find out who the mystery man is. He gets a lawsuit too; this is felony wiretapping as far as I can see (IANAL) LastInLine posted:Install the app on another phone and see. Completely hidden, there's no 'app' in the conventional nature. Honestly, I have no idea who put it there, what it looks like, nothing, since it also makes downloading diag tools error out trying to get them off the play store. Since the company charges the snoopy felon an amount per month, so they're complicit in this crime, and have all his info, which I (or the police) will get.

You idiots are sure focusing on my personal life, instead of the tech aspect, and this thread proves that you people couldn't see or much less diagnose a serious loving issue if your life depended on it. Keep it up, 17 year olds with '14 regdates. Anything personal I've aid here was to farther understanding of the situation, but I see you people are loving worthless, so I'll go talk to my real lawyers and hire people who actually know something to do the diags.

gently caress it, toxx if you want, I can afford 10 bucks, I feel I need to get reinvolved.

^^^^Hoping to appeal to an admin or mod with an iota of sense; this one obviously has not one. The phone is not rooted. Its not shoved up my rear end 24/7, it' a possibility someone could have surreptitiously gotten it from me for the 60 seconds it take to install such a thing. This is the only way this could have been installed from my POV. The icon did NOT look like the Samsung eye. Sorry, that's not it.
