- blakesterz 10y ago>> The attacker needed access to the phone. Yeah, he clearly says he had to side load that thing, and yet near the top of the story he says this: 'With a single SMS message, this spy had remotely activated the microphone in my smartphone, turning it into a portable and surreptitious eavesdropping device.' That kind of implies that is how this thing was installed, but that's not really how it worked.
