Thread: Older phone hacking

Is there a way for someone to tap an older phone that doesn't have any symbian, windows, or android programs on it? I know that tapping an older phone isn't possible through the programs available for purchase but mine has been tapped to the point of all messages are intercepted and the phone's mic can be used for monitoring. My phone is an LG VX5400 and I think I am dealing with a more advanced hacker here.

Is there any resource I can use to detect any spying on my phone and/or do the same thing back? Could I do the same thing to another non-symbian, windows, or android phone?

I would try to deactivate your bluetooth... Although those bluetooth spy programs do not work on current phones, they did work on older phones.. those bluetooth spy apps you see advertised were actually a "proof of concept" to highlight the dangers of bluetooth and how vulnerable people are who leave their bluetooth on.. the good news is cell phone manufacturers plugged these security holes, so they no longer work on new phones (anything bought in the last few years).. so if you have an old phone.. it just might be one that was still using the old bluetooth protocols.. other than that.. the only other spy phone for older phones were those $2,000 spy phone sold online a few years back that had the spy app built into the phone..

hope this helps.
