New Software Turns iPad into iSpy
Summary: Retina-X Studios of Jacksonville, Florida is selling a $99.97-a-year software-as-a-service, iPadspy, that lets employers, parents and spouses remotely view every website visited, every email sent and received, and every contact added on an iPad, with logs uploaded instantly to a web control panel. The software works only on jailbroken iPads, and the company says it plans to add GPS location tracking and access to stored photos and notes.
Why it matters: The product's own requirement - a jailbroken device - means the monitoring capability arrives only after someone has already removed Apple's built-in restrictions, and as Krebs notes, once an attacker has physical access to a device, it is game over.
