Spy Software monitors every photo and mail in your Blackberry

It seems a highly impossible ask, but apparently if you have the right spyware, you can view every mail and photo received/ sent from a Blackberry!-

BlackBerry Spy Software Unleashes Email and Photo Monitoring -- JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 27 /PRNewswire/ --:

"Retina-X Studios, LLC announced today new logging features for their Mobile Spy monitoring software for BlackBerry smartphones. The silent spy program now includes the ability to view every photo captured and every email sent or received. These new abilities help parents and employers track the activities of their monitored phones with greater accuracy."

Here is why you do this: How To Secretly Track BlackBerry Phones
:

"Track cheating spouse: For a spouse who suspects their partner is cheating, using software that enables them to track their partner is a key tool many use to uncovering their partner's infidelity. With a BlackBerry spy app used as a tracking device, spouses not only get to see where their parter is, but they can also dig a bit deeper into their partner's BlackBerry, reading their messages, viewing photos, and even secretly listen in on their partner's surroundings to find out what they are doing.

Track employees. Gone are the days of bulky GPS tracking devices installed in company provided cars. Now employers can easily track their employees via their company issued BlackBerry cell phones. Using BlackBerry tracking software, an employer can not only track their employees movements, but can also track their employees once they leave their cars. This might raise eyebrows, but this could be required for company safety policies, and/or to locate missing employees."

Apart from the ethics of this, and the possibility, does anyone actually feel the need to do snoop?

Sadly, yes, even in a close relationship: "Should You Use Technology to Catch a Cheating Spouse?":-

"Retrevo.com, a consumer electronics shopping and review site, recently polled 1,000 U.S. residents of varying age, gender, income and location to see whether they have ever spied on their significant other's e-mail. The results showed that 38 percent of those under 25 who are in a dating relationship have "snooped." Ten percent of the spies in that age group discovered the other person was unfaithful.

Retrevo's study found that 36 percent of people in committed relationships have spied on a partner's e-mail and call logs. Of those, only 3 percent found incriminating evidence."
 These are the times we live in- every technology brings with it great freedoms, and greater threats with it.
