Hm, is there currently any mobile anti-virus software available that would have caught and blocked the Hacking Team exploits before the reveal? Are there actually any "standard" security procedures for mobile? I suppose a vast majority of customers simply trust OS vendors to release a secure environment.

Unless you jailbreak your phone you are basically forced to trust the vendor. Even with a jailbreak there are lots of places to hide something like this. If there is a hack in the baseband firmware on your phone you are basically out of luck.

Around 2005/2006 it was revealed in a mob trial that the FBI remotely activated, presumably using a special signaling plane command, a non-smartphone to turn it into a room bug. Ain't no firewall for that.
