   Its not the blackhat hackers who are inventing new methods to compromise rootkits to devices such as smart phones, its people who actually study in educational wise, and make it a fact. Yet somehow it gets leaked or motivated then hackers start doing it.

   It’s always nice to have more attack methods available to do something a little different

    It’s a proof of concept to show the potential for similar attacks. It could be done on any phone using a highly capable operating system such as the iPhone, Symbian, Maemo, MeeGo, Android, Palm, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, et al. Some hacker sees this and says, “cool idea, think I’ll try to getting that working with an iPhone.”

    @brotheraaron – this is a new method of doing the spying as far as we know.

    @g0nz0madness – it’s malicious to the person being spied upon either way.

    He used OpenMoko to demo both the hacked phone and the receiver. It’s a proof of concept, though, to show the potential for similar attacks. An actual attacker might use any kind of capable phone to attack a particular target. Targets might include any kind of phone for which he can code a root kit. Another commentor noted it need not be a smart phone. The java vm on many phones might support similar attacks.

    None of the comments indicate understanding of what’s really shown here. 1) It’s a proof of concept. He didn’t say he can currently do this against an iPhone or brandX 2) Root kits can be installed on any general purpose operating system; so yes potentially iPhone, Linux-based such as Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, et al. 3) Yes, there are other ways to monitor your phone, but this is a new one from what I’ve seen. FBI wiretaps of your mobile work differently. How long til anyone can do this?
