The material viewed by SPIEGEL suggests that the spying on smart phones has not been a mass phenomenon. It has been targeted, in some cases in an individually tailored manner and without the knowledge of the smart phone companies.

Spiegel is as funny as always. Why doing the hard work to hack a phone if you can get the data right out of the cloud ecosystem? While the article is technically not false it doesn't tell us all, it lulls the people into false safety. - -- gpg: 0x5D8BB0A9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQGcBAEBAgAGBQJSLPjEAAoJEPCgX0tdi7CphIoMALKpWnmqJVF67czWh6UZetW6 wQ8dJrj9v2+LXZwNagFtijYqrmkMA9slzYa5roXHYdilD2ymdHjOa6I6we6R6UTU /aGdXjXP9HtlCqG7RCIn6wjntJFJVG3ntF5py4VZosfClV5vC7ECW5D1eL8Ma2v3 7scSBXQkuYeQ0EV+FetNfauUZ1Sqa+Ru8VYlSdHQa9ii59UJVAq9IlXGsBX241+A q3igjfGJlhNCq0a3OLy61tKA1z0FfrNDy3p89llKrFqfkZsenj7JR1RxJgh2lDi4 EJdNPK5gr3CHGJrixY55O2PZk2dzX0FGNDsre1uGfUlLDRhO1ZoxldTHgq6Sz/X5 bi79bBsJXjw/F8sn8kpL1CVkaow/spoUTOy+zyHe6TwYynwrpcgxYsJhILqBuasC pEAzWfBOMl3eUkJnw0e5XEu5kl1+iAO9zE7IwEwYL1Lpox3R9ip1KNKBUU9d3AxU cv0YL5dvxJjngc2HiMeFlUoGjpEN7Meuu5exyY9QqQ== =LPLc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
