CarrierIQ - you are being watched
The CarrierIQ scandal is certainly proving interesting:
http://www.osnews.com/story/25384/CarrierIQ_Rootkit_Found_on_Android
Most interesting? Apple appear to have been the only manufacturer to voluntarily include this rootkit.
It is bizarre to watch the battle for privacy being waged. Most of the keystrokes being logged are likely to be sms messages, emails or social network updates. Your emails are sent in plain text and your social network updates are broadcast to the world (or some subset). Google is already logging all your location and search habits.
Will this be seen as a line in the sand for privacy invasions, or will it just become accepted as another part of life?
