Israeli Firm Creates a Device That Can Hack Any Nearby Phone (softpedia.com)

Posted by samzenpus on from the one-bad-apple dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Israeli startup Rayzone created a device that can hack any smartphone that has its WiFi connection open. The device can steal passwords, files, contact lists, photos, and various others. Called InterApp, the device is dumb-proof (comes with a shiny admin panel), works on hundreds of devices at the same time, and leaves no forensics traces behind after the hack. The company says it will only sell it to law enforcement agencies.

    The company says it will only sell it to law enforcement agency.

    Oh, thank goodness, what a relief.

    For a minute there I was worried that this would fall into the hands of people who might abuse this technology, or even break the law.

    Because of course, that would never happen.

    Oh gee, what a coincidence, this company sells an IMSI catcher too...

    No, that's the CIA's methodology. The NSA is full of introverts who don't like pipe wrenches because they're heavy.
