Carrier IQ Rootkit Logs Everything on Millions of Phones

Trevor Eckhart announced that he found software, made by Carrier IQ, that may be logging your every move on your mobile phone. Carrier IQ didn’t take too kindly to this accusation and responded aggressively with a Cease and Desist Letter and denied this accusation. Eckhart released a video to further back his accusation with undisputable proof. While Eckhart tested his accusation on an HTC device it is likely that Carrier IQ is logging information on millions of more devices. According to Carrier IQ’s Mobile Intelligence platform, the platform is currently deployed with more than 150 million devices worldwide.”]
