Apple iTunes flaw 'allowed government spying' / Android recording everything you do

Carrier IQ references discovered in Apple's iOS

To date, the user tracking controversy surrounding Carrier IQ has focused primarily on Android, but today details are surfacing that the company also may have hooks into Apple's iOS. Well-known iPhone hacker Chpwn tweeted today that versions at least as recent as iPhone OS 3.1.3 contained references to Carrier IQ.

We were able to independently verify that at the very least, references to Carrier IQ's servers do exist within iPhoneOS 3.1.3 in a file located at /usr/bin/IQAgent. What exactly that binary is able to access or how it may communicate with either carriers or Carrier IQ is not yet known, though there are references to an IQAgent log on the device as well as references to collector.sky.carrieriq.com.

For versions 4.0 and up, Intell on MacRumors' forums has found similar references to the http://collector.sky.carrieriq.com location within /usr/bin/awd_ice2, although we have not independently verified that yet. Again, no clear word on just what is or is not being tracked or collected.

The story is developing, with chpwn promising a post providing as many details as he's been able to uncover thus far, including the possibility that the code wasn't enabled by default in iOS. We should emphasize that all we can say for sure at the moment is that iOS definitely contained references to Carrier IQ — but given how the story has progressed thus far, we expect there will be more to report on soon.

Update: chpwn notes that initial research indicated that Carrier IQ's software may only be active when the iPhone is in diagnostic mode. We'll let you know when more details arise.

Thanks, nandreetta

Exactly how they want you to think. Hey we should just expect it.

It's not about doing anything stupid or illegal, it's having folks looking at your life piece by piece.

This could be big. The masses aren't taking it well, obviously. Google, facebook, all these big companies are in on it.

It's crazy to think how little information they had 20 years ago compared to today. Google just started 13 years ago and they're already looking like Skynet.

I might just pop my SIM back into my old Samsung bar phone since I hardly use my phone for anything other than calls. I should stop using Chrome too.

if you dont want folks spying, dont get a cell phone or cop a nokia w/ snake on it...
 
Intelligence has been recording everything you do by ISP since the internet was birthed, on massive harddrives stored underground. Believe me or not, IDC. The internet was invented as a means for researchers and CIA agents to communicate with one another in the 50's or 60's. What do you expect?

Necessary evils that simply need to be overcame and not abused IMO.

Thats all fine and good but what about the part of them seeing your passwords and credit card info if you use mobile banking or pay for something with it , this is pure garbage and a complete flagrant violation of our freedom

EDIT: also I just started my own business recently and use mobile pay which is convenient for my customers and my self , news like this will likely make people much more sceptical to allow me to use that as an option

Good to know. Things are looking more Patriots-esque every day.

My issue with this thinking is that the internet isn't made up of your technology and it's not made up of my technology.
If we want to use someone else's &^%$ we have to pay taxes right?

If android wants to secretly sell our keystrokes to the government there's nothing stopping them because we're still using their phones.
It's wrong and it's lame that we have to expect invasion of privacy on the internet but there's an easy solution and that's to innovate a new network. Stop relying on other people's applied science and apply some science of your own.

Do you think us being privy to the fact that they're watching scares the government? Of course not, they're probably laughing at this thread

. What would scare them would be not being able to watch us at all

I support you. I'm on the same tip as well. You have to be careful though, mighty suspicious = bigger eye from bigger brother. And that type of eye will not be in the form of an OS.

damn i couldn't have said it better. 
I mean honestly...


I think its worth calling these companies out on their privacy invasions so that they know we're paying attention...but honestly did you think that in using a system someone else created that they wouldn't peek into your life from time to time?
grin.gif



I mean I dont own a cellphone network...and I know the NSA is listening for key-words to trip the automatic recorder so it'd be pretty stupid to still use them all willy-nilly without trying to protect myself.


Its like the mob-boss they caught by tapping his cellphone...when it was turned off...
