Almost every day we are asked how to wiretap a cell phone. I want to emphasize once again that we offer ONLY programs for monitoring a mobile phone! Other methods of wiretapping, such as complexes, through an operator, viruses, etc. we don’t offer, and we don’t have such opportunities... Today we will talk about how you can listen to any mobile phone in theory.

So, what types of wiretapping exist and can they be resisted?

Official, upon special request

Wiretapping method . The cellular operator, if required, is obliged to provide law enforcement agencies with the ability to wiretap, as well as provide access to the database (numbers, time, duration of incoming and outgoing calls, history of short messages, IMEI code of the mobile device, etc.). Naturally, a cellular operator will not provide such an opportunity to an ordinary person.

A way to avoid wiretapping. If you have good reason that you are being tapped in this way, do not use your previous phone number or the device itself. Either, as an option, use a special one, or use a crypto phone.

Unofficial, expensive

Wiretapping method . The method is that special equipment allows you to intercept a signal from a mobile device to a cellular operator’s base station and vice versa. This option is not available to the average person due to the high cost of the interception device, the price of which starts at $0.5 million.

In criminal circles, this technique is still in demand, despite its shortcomings: the signal capture radius from the phone is no more than several hundred meters and the existing probability of the operator changing the signal code. However, due to the fact that the method makes it possible to listen to conversations without the need to contact the “victim’s” mobile device or contact the telecom operator (as described above, this is impossible), it is actively used.

A way to avoid wiretapping. Apply protective equipment to such equipment. It works as follows: the equipment records the exchange of data from a mobile device with third-party equipment, after which pings are prohibited, after which it becomes difficult for attackers to intercept the conversation. A phone with an imei change will also help with this. But the best option is to use .

Using listening programs

Wiretapping method . In order to wiretap in this way, the “victim” must have . The program will record all calls, messages, determine location and much more, then upload all the data to the server in your personal account. There are also disadvantages to this method: the need for physical access to the phone to install a “spy”.

A way to avoid wiretapping. Do not leave your phone unattended and do not allow strangers to install unknown programs on it. Use antivirus programs to scan for malware.

Now you know what options there are for wiretapping and ways to avoid it. We would also like to add: to prevent someone from listening to you during an important conversation, do not use mobile devices for this, try to resolve issues in person :)

Conversation security: we check whether the phone is tapped. Detection of problems.

Navigation

Is it possible to imagine a modern person without mobile communications? Older people still remember how long it took to make any decision if the opponent was in another place. Travel, pre-arranged times and dozens of other difficulties that arise without cell phones. No one will argue that mobile phones are the best discovery of the last century, which has simplified the lives of all social strata.

But where there are pros, there are also cons - there is always the possibility that your cell phone is being tapped. And it’s good if you use it to communicate with friends and solve small household issues, but what if you discuss secret information during the conversation? Are you voicing something that is not intended for third ears and can be used against you? In this article we will tell you how to solve this problem, check your phone for wiretapping and protect yourself and your loved ones.

How to find out if a mobile phone is tapped or if it has wiretapping?

Today, not only law enforcement agencies, but literally any person with certain knowledge and a little money can listen to a cell phone. Therefore, if you have something to hide, you provide your financial information over the phone, or simply do not want to be controlled, this article is for you.

So, the first method was used earlier, but today is almost out of use - “GSM interception complexes”. The fact is that currently GSM channels are encrypted in such a way that it is not technically possible to decrypt without the support of a mobile operator. The method is expensive and difficult to use, so it is used by special services, and even then not in all operations.

In fact, it is impossible to determine whether there are GSM interception complexes nearby, and therefore, if you are hiding something, and the level of secrecy is high, do not talk about it on the phone. After all, there is no 100% way to check security.

Now let’s move on to numerous programs with which you can secretly listen to conversations online, but to do this you need access to the phone for 3-5 minutes and installation of the appropriate program. Such programs act like real spy bugs and allow you to transmit conversations, SMS and other information over any distance.

Detecting such “bugs” is as easy as shelling pears, unless, of course, they were installed by an amateur and did not hide traces of his age:

Go to installed mobile applications and check all installed programs. Feel free to delete those that you personally did not install;
Reset all settings to factory defaults, plus format the memory card.

Please note that programs for wiretapping phones without operating systems simply do not exist! Now you understand why almost every businessman has a phone in his pocket, which many consider not only suitable for communication, but simply a rarity.

Wiretapping programs can get into your phone using:

Downloading via a link or installing a mobile application;
Installations using a PC or other mobile device;
Transferring a link via MMS;
Via Bluetooth channel;
Via WiFi channel.

How and with what to check: is a cell phone tapped or not?

Essentially, wiretapping programs are divided into two groups:

During a conversation, wiretapping is turned on and all calls are recorded directly into the phone’s memory (note that this action is secret, often the folder in which conversations are written). Please note that the programs compress information well, and an hour of conversation can easily fit into 5-6 MB, so you will not be able to detect memory overload. Then, as soon as the phone is in close enough contact, conversations are re-recorded to a PC or another phone using WiFi, GPRS, WAP, 3G. It is worth considering that in this case, funds from the account for the transfer of information are debited directly from the tapped phone, which is clearly reflected in the cost of communication, and this is what can become a signal for action;
Conference call. Another clever method for wiretapping other people's conversations. To do this, at the beginning of the conversation, an SMS is received with the phone number of the incoming or outgoing call from the mobile device. Next, the attacker calls the number back and becomes the third participant in the conversation. The method is very complicated and requires a lot of costs, plus the beginning of the conversation is lost, and if the conversation is short, then the attacker ends up at the end of the conversation. Therefore it is used extremely rarely;

Remember that monitoring someone else's mobile device, listening to and recording calls is prohibited and criminal liability is provided for this. If you have any suspicions that you are being monitored, you should not continue to use the device until the device is checked by specialists.

How to detect wiretapping in your cell phone:

Suddenly the battery began to overheat, especially when making calls. If you are watching a movie on your smartphone or playing an online game and the battery is heating up, this is normal, but overheating during a call is a sure sign that you need to pay extra attention to the device to check it. Of course, these may be running virus applications, or unclosed ones that you actively use, but if there are suspicions, the phone must be checked;
You use your phone as usual, and the battery has stopped working and requires frequent recharging. Of course, there is a possibility that the battery is failing, but if after purchasing a new battery the situation does not change, check for hidden applications;
Delay when turning off the phone. Perhaps your phone requires flashing or repair, but there is a possibility that you are being monitored and hidden programs are turned off before shutting down, and because of this, the phone began to work worse than usual;
What's incredible about how a regular smartphone works? Are you talking on the phone, and in the meantime the backlight is actively turning on and off, updates are being installed, files are being saved, etc.? There is a risk that your phone is being controlled remotely. Of course, you need to understand that these are not auto-updates, accidental pressing of the keyboard with your ear or cheek, etc. To check the situation during conversations, put it on speakerphone and watch the phone’s reaction - and then you will surely make the right decision;
Presence of extraneous noise. In the case of online listening or conference listening, the phone will experience interference, noise, rattling, and crackling;
During a conversation or immediately after the end of a conversation, there is interference near household appliances. “Gurgling” as when sending or receiving notifications;
When making an outgoing call, when selecting a network operator, a stranger appears in the list of operators without a logo, but with one or another number. If such a detection occurs, you can know without a doubt that your phone is being tapped.

In conclusion, I would like to add that it is better to prevent than to “treat” a problem. Therefore, do not leave your phone unattended and be attentive to various nuances.
