"Locked" Cell Phone
Cell Phone Security Abuse
Story aired: Monday, June 25, 2007



A Washington state family claims someone has been able to hack into their personal cell phones, and use the phones to spy on them. The family says people are watching them through their cell phone cameras and listening to them through their cell phone microphones. They claim the hacker can even turn on their phones when they're turned off. It sounds like science fiction, but a security expert says it's not only possible, it's fairly easy for a computer savvy teen to hack into your cell phone.

Guests:


Heather Kuykendall, alleged victim of cell phone spying

James Atkinson, Counter Surveillance Expert and president of Granite Island Group
