Security Incidents

Once with the aging, or only with the past of time, you may find yourself in the situation of questioning your other half fidelity. In order to set, or not set, your mind at rest, you will need proofs.  But move quickly before your spouse finds out about this technique: the vice versa of the situation can also occur!

The things evolved on such a manner that the malicious computer spyware are no longer used by the hackers for the only purpose of stealing personal data like passwords and credit card details, but also by a suspicious wife or husband, or, by a parent who would like to supervise and control web activities of their partners and children.

Anna Stepanov, manager of the anti-spyware program at McAfee Avert Labs, declared: "With so much of our lives dependent on computers and other technologies such as cell phones, the use of spyware is ideal for abusers, who often feel the need to control all aspects of a victim’s existence".

The Age reproduced her words when saying that if checking a victim's online, cell phone, or general computing activity is similar with controlling or hurting that person. Nobody likes this sensation and few will approve.

The spyware stalking could evolve into domestic violence situations, being considered the most obvious type of stalking. That person whose moves are observed and controlled can view it as a form of harassment.

There are commercially available software package which allow monitoring and recording all emails, chats, keystrokes, website visits, search entries and even activity on specific sites.
Each activity performed on the computer can be registered by a digital surveillance tape feature and presented little by little.

Hello responsible supervision or good-bye privacy?
