A great example are the family carrier monitoring tools.
So when you look at this, what is the intended purpose?
Is it to track your teenager?
Is it to block them from texting while they're driving?
What kind of artifacts can be created?
I think there's an app called Life365 or something
like that a lot of my friends use
to track how fast their kids are driving, if they're texting
while driving, where they are.
All of these could be used to do good,
but they could also be used to do bad.
So you have to make sure you're aware that they exist.
Now, I want you to think about this.
If you run a Malware scanner, it is not
going to hit on regular apps that
can be used for spying, because they're not Malware.
There's not a signature for it to detect that.
So it's just something to keep in your back of your mind.
You're going to have to hunt apps that are
be being used to spy manually.
It is not always as easy as it seems.
