“This new version shows you how to install WhatsApp Spy and learn to spy on WhatsApp outsiders, your friends or your girlfriend.” With this suggestive message announcing his scam the 23 years that the Technological Investigation Brigade (BIT) National Police have arrested after following his trail through internet. According to the agents, the scam has been more than 40,000 euros in two months is that the very virality of social networks helped spread the scam by the major media: Twitter, Facebook and Myspace, although the last warned that counterfeiting accounts’ Tuenti fielded us that someone had gotten the credentials of more than 11,000 users and, based on their profiles, send messages to all your friends in announcing the false application » , explains REASON Jose Rodriguez, Chief Inspector Logic Security Group Technological Research Brigade (BIT) of the National Police. The detainee had it very well put together, and he obtained the keys of accoun ts with the method of ‘phishing’, impersonate any person or entity, through a website, similar in appearance to the social network said. It was called “Tuemti”. “It has come to the attention of marketing knowledge of the detainee, who created a page similar to the original to give it credibility.”
Another hit of Murcia was to create a platform where, according to the alleged swindler could download an app-WhatsApp Spy-that would spy on the contacts of one of the most popular messaging networks in the world. However, what I was getting ripped off when introducing the phone number on the page to get the download code, which never came, was a Premium SMS subscription whose benefits he went directly to the detainee. Those who fell into this trap paid between 1.45 and 7.26 euros, depending on the operator. Hence, the agents calculate the scam over 40,000 euros. This type of messaging “is the same as that used in television programs or other formats and, although regulated, is not always used so willing, as in this case,” says Rodriguez. The Premium SMS are numbers offered by different companies and resell. Thus, almost any user can access this service which receives a percentage of the fee that is charged to users. Although everything was set up under the la w, the fact is that “the operators do not collaborate a lot,” said the expert.

The most serious: discovery and disclosure of secrets derived from ‘phishing’, but also carry the massive scam and against intellectual property by attempting to impersonate Tuenti. And the young man would send over 8 million posts to announce “their platform”.
Although readers may surprise delinquent youth, not so much to the police: “To do this one you are missing certain computer skills, no need to be a hacker. Moreover, most are self-taught. Also, the younger they are the more unconscious, they think that everything on the net is for all and not realize that the Criminal Code is also present in the digital world. ” In regard to espionage, “is very difficult”, although in the network circulating dozens of applications that advertise this service. The latest: Online Phone Spy. A program that is distributed for Android phones and it charges about 20 euros for users who want to download it. As stated by the engineer Emilio Ocampos, WhatsApp “has suffered problems in your programming code. Conversations are kept clear, but it was sorted. ” With respect to control of applications that hang, “differs smartphone operating system. In Android is easy to upload any” app” nobody cont rols, is free. Apple, through its” Store” test, but takes 80 per year to get your developer certificate. Javier Sanchez, ameu8, an application developer, says that “there is growing”” malicious apps looking to take the users’ personal information.” To prevent it, “we must avoid hack mobile for getting free apps because they work the hacker faciltas»
