In Russia, special services can tap the phones of subscribers using the so-called SORM system (a system of technical means to ensure the functions of operational search activities). Based on the law "On Communications", telecom operators are required to provide them with information about subscribers. But law enforcement agencies are allowed to listen in on the conversations themselves only by court order.
However, now the ability to tap phones is not only the special services. There are special spyware programs that are installed on mobile phones and allow other people, such as a competitor or a jealous spouse, to spy on you. Parents who want to take full control of their child can also use similar programs.
What features does spyware have?
The spy program installed on your mobile phone can record phone conversations and intercept SMS messages, and then send them to the desired address.
A corporate phone can be equipped with a battery with a special chip, which also makes it possible to listen to conversations and transmit data.
How do I detect if a phone is running spyware?
Usually, such software does not manifest itself in any way, and it is quite difficult to detect it.
1. Your phone is sitting down too fast
A sign that a spy program is installed on your mobile phone may be that the battery is draining too fast.
2. Oddities in the phone's operation
You should also be alerted to the delay in turning off the phone, spontaneous reboot, and turning on the backlight.
3. Extraneous sounds on the phone
If the phone is tapped, you may hear various extraneous sounds, noises, and even other people's voices while talking to another caller.
4. Interference
It may also be a cause for concern that the phone lying next to the audio speakers is causing interference when you are not using it.
5. The connection with the subscriber is established for a long time
If you start noticing that when you call someone, the connection with the subscriber is established for a long time, and similarly disconnection began to take longer, this may also be a sign of wiretapping. This is explained by the fact that spyware programs need some time to "break in" to the conversation.
