Great article over at PC World about the dangers of CEOs (including President Elect Barack Obama’s love for his Blackberry) being exposed to mobile spyware.
The article mentions how mobile is the least secure medium, but I’d have to disagree. There are lot more spyware applications for PCs (PC spy programs such as Sniper Spy or USB key loggers such as KeyGhost) available to purchase, compared to mobile spyware programs such as Flexispy or Mobile Spy.
Another reason is the fact that EVERY type of mobile spyware out there, requires you to have physcial access to the mobile phone in order to install the cell phone spyware. However, with PC spyware, you do not need physical access to the PC. You can easily install these programs remotely by wrapping the spy program into an image, video clip, mp3, Excel or Word doc. Installation takes seonds versus minutes for cell phone spyware.
In summary, I feel no matter what Obama decides to do with his Blackberry, or whichever medium corporate CEOs choose to use as his/her primary communication device, beinge exposed to spyware is a real possiblity, but due to the requirement that physical access to a mobile phone is required to install cell phone spyware, I feel a mobile phone is the much better communicaton choice compared to a PC.

My question is:
If spy interceptor phone scripts/wares have been physically installed on an iPhone, and the phone is completely restored to factory settings? Does the software reinstall itself via iTunes?
Is it possible there is a dual/tandem reinstallation especially of your PC and target phone are active?
Also? Are there fake itune spy programs?
Thank you in advance,
