FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
The head of a company that sells a spyware application for smartphones has been indicted and arrested for conspiracy and other charges related to surreptitious interception. It is the first time the US Department of Justice has targeted spyware apps.

Undetectable and untraceable by most phone users – that is how a
spyware application dubbed StealthGenie was allegedly being
advertised by Hammad Akbar, the chief executive of the
Pakistani-owned, UK-based company InvoCode.
The 31-year-old native of Lahore, Pakistan, is also one of the
creators of the app, which can intercept communications to and
from mobile phones, including Apple, Android and BlackBerry
devices, the Justice Department said.
Once installed on the phone, it allows conversations to be
monitored as they take place, enables the purchaser to call the
phone and activate it at any time to monitor all surrounding
conversations within a 15-foot radius, and collects the user’s
incoming and outgoing email and SMS messages, incoming voicemail,
address book, calendar, photographs, and videos. All of these
functions are enabled without the knowledge of the user of the
phone.

“Selling spyware is not just reprehensible, it’s a
crime,” Leslie Caldwell, assistant attorney general in the
DOJ’s Criminal Division, said in a statement. “Apps like
StealthGenie are expressly designed for use by stalkers and
domestic abusers who want to know every detail of a victim’s
personal life — all without the victim’s knowledge.”
Akbar was charged with conspiracy, sale of a surreptitious
interception device, advertisement of a known interception device
and advertising a device as a surreptitious interception device
in US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. He was
arrested in Los Angeles on Saturday, and was expected to appear
before a magistrate in the Central District of California Monday.

“StealthGenie has little use beyond invading a victim’s
privacy,” said US Attorney Boente. “Advertising and
selling spyware technology is a criminal offense, and such
conduct will be aggressively pursued by this office and our law
enforcement partners.”
The indictment occurred in Virginia because StealthGenie was
hosted at a data center in Ashburn, Virginia. A federal judge
there issued a temporary restraining order, authorizing the FBI
to disable the website hosting the application.

“This application allegedly equips potential stalkers and
criminals with a means to invade an individual’s confidential
communications,” said FBI Assistant Director in Charge
McCabe. “They do this not by breaking into their homes or
offices, but by physically installing spyware on unwitting
victims’ phones and illegally tracking an individual’s every
move. As technology continues to evolve, the FBI will investigate
and bring to justice those who use illegal means to monitor and
track individuals without their knowledge.”
The person who buys the app needs physical control of the phone
only to install it – then they are able to control it remotely.

Part of the indictment focuses not just on selling StealthGenie,
but on the software’s marketing.
The advertising of StealthGenie targeted “‘[s]pousal cheat:
Husband/Wife of [sic] boyfriend/girlfriend suspecting their other
half of cheating or any other suspicious behavior or if they just
want to monitor them’,” the FBI statement said. “Language and testimonials on the
StealthGenie website focused significantly on potential
purchasers who did not have any ownership interest in the mobile
phone to be monitored, including those suspecting a spouse or
romantic partner of infidelity. The indictment alleges that Akbar
and his co-conspirators fabricated the testimonials.”

The company also marketed the app as a way for parents to track
their children, Ars Technica reported, as StealthGenie can also
record conversations near the phone, not just when the phone is
in use. In many states, it is illegal to record a conversation
without one or both parties involved consenting to the recording.
The indictment against Akbar is the first time charges have been
brought against someone for spyware on the mobile market.
Meanwhile, StealthGenie, among other spyware apps, is readily
available online for the iPhone, Android and Blackberry.
