In exchange for mobile presence in India, RIM, Nokia and Apple have allegedly provided backdoor access for the Indian intelligence to spy on communication.

LOL if that is true it's a new low for Nokia. I don't see any android manifacturer though that's kind of weird.

...because it is easier to make copies of the top ten apps sold in India, put spyware with root access in them and put them back in the market lol

good point though

Certainly a good read, but It may also be worth noting in the first post that these docs refer as far back to 2005 and were signed in agreement with the Indian MOD Intelligence program too. (Akin to our CIA & MI5 agencies)


As the information and access request was made a governmental body I personally don't feel that surprised, after all we all believe that our governments are watching our every move. Don't we? **Adjusts tin foil hat** ;)

It's a far cry from that CarrierIQ crap where there was no one would give real answer to who, what, or where all our key strokes were going to and no carrier would accept responsibility for it.
