Spyphone vendors everywhere got an early Christmas present today with the announcement of the jailbreak for iOS7.
A Bit Of Background First.
Without a jailbreak, it’s not possible to create the kind of powerful spy software, like FlexiSPY, that can run undetected. In fact, without a jailbreak, only the most trivial applications are possible, but there are only so many Flashlight programs the market can bear!
So, because there was no jailbreak for iOS7, for the last few months, anyone who wanted to spy on an iPhone was out of luck. To make things worse, over 70 % of iPhone users had already upgraded to iOS7. iOS7 was not only un-jailbreakable (is there such a word?), but could also not be downgraded to the 6.x versions that would have allowed the installation of monitoring software.
A Pretty Sucky Situation.
Update
The engineers did it. FlexiSPY is now available for iOS7, check it out here – and thanks for your patience.
You’ve seen it before, a website absolutely loaded with practically an army of “as seen on – NBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, BBC, CSNBC, BB – these sites seem to have half their page filled with these logo’s and often times, the logo’s don’t lead anywhere, there was never any article written about that website to begin with, it didn’t even have permission to use the logo of that site. You may have recently heard about Samsung’s Astroturfing fiasco where Samsung was hiring contractors to write forum posts that praised Samsung devices, trashed competitors, and downplayed bad news. While that’s definitely not cool, it doesn’t come close to the lies going on in the SpyPhone world.
Why the logo jacking
The reason why companies are now logo jacking is to exploit the theory of social proof. Social Proof is basically this: if you see a person do something safely and successfully, you’ll feel more secure in doing that same thing. Where doubts might have been, they are no longer as prevalent when you see that the action it is possible. The problem occurs when the social proof is bought, or faked, then this proof is no longer accurate, and people are being lied to – problems start happening.
Examining mSpy’s social proof
Now with this understanding of what logojacking is, we’ll take a look into the SpyPhone realm to see if there’s any logojacking going on. The site being looked at will be mSpy, starting with the business testimonials banner on their home page.
Here’s A Picture of Their Banner
This banner references CNN, CNBC, The New York Times, and BBC. It also shows off some customer testimonials, from three guys.
The Cues of Scam Sites
There are cue’s that prospective customers on a product site should take into consideration when trying to determine if the product is legitimate or not.
Things to look out for,
A forged Better Business Bureau assurance Seal leading to a real looking report
knowing this, I started to research the testimonials located on the mSpy page.
I first tried to click on the images in the banner to read the supposed articles about mSpy, but I was unable to, turns out it was just a banner image that someone put together with photo editing software. So, I searched for each individual reference to try to find the supposed articles, manually.
The affiliated logos search
CNN – I searched the CNN website with the Keywords: mSpy to try to find any related article. I was unable to find any article mentioning mSpy.
The New York Times – I searched the NYT website with mSpy but was unable to find any article mentioning mSpy. A list of Spy articles were the result of the search, but none of those articles mentioned mSpy.
CNBC – Searching the CNBC website, I couldn’t find any article that linked to mSpy.
BBC – I searched the BBC website, and I couldn’t find any article that mentioned mSpy.
CrunchBase – I searched the CrunchBase website and found that mSpy created a profile on the CrunchBase website. While CrunchBase doesn’t directly reference mSpy, and putting the logo of CrunchBase on the mSpy testimonial section IS misleading, it doesn’t qualify as logojacking.
What it means
mSpy hasn’t been mentioned in any of the corporations that they claimed they had been referenced in. The only website that I was able to find mSpy information on was CrunchBase, where mSpy created a corporate profile.
Customer Testimonials
mSpy also features several customer testimonials. The reviews look like they might be legitimate, although it should be noted that it’s verycommon for companies to outsource people to write reviews for them, and we’ve seen that mSpy has a track record for faking references – So, it’s not out of the question. If the customer testimonials ARE in fact legit, then kudos to them. Otherwise, with their history of lies, prospective customers might want to think twice.
You would be forgiven for thinking that mobile spy software has been around since God was a boy. Considering the rate of change since the Internet took over our lives, one could argue that you are right!
The reality, however, is that it’s only been ten years since the world first saw a commercial service allowing you to spy on a mobile becoming available on a subscription business model. That’s a pretty cheeky concept when you think about it 😉
So for those of you who stay awake at night asking questions like “what’s the history of mobile spy software,” this article is for you.
We did a little research and then compiled an infographic showing the emergence of the major players in the spyphone business, and a chronology of the release our products.
Here’s How We Did It.
We established the date of the establishment of spyphone vendors from the release of their websites because that’s when they could actually sell anything.
Our first step was to look at the domain research website to get the date of the domain name registration – but domain registration alone is only a part of the story because a site can lay dormant or the registration may predate the current owner’s involvement.
So we also took a look at the WayBack Machine (http://archive.org/web/), an online archive listing over 360 billion entries going back to 1996. The WayBack Machine crawls websites all over the Internet at periodic intervals, documenting and archiving historical points in time.
This gives us a snapshot of how long a company or a website has actually been around, and sometimes what they were doing at a specific period. WayBack Machine features a calendar display of individual capture dates.
You’ll notice FlexiSPY predates all of the competition, and we are proud to have inspired so many imitators – after all, it’s the ultimate flattery. Yet being the oldest or original does not guarantee anything, but our offer to buy back a competitor’s product surely speaks for itself.
The Christmas season has come around again, and that means lots of shopping for friends and family – buy them a gift, make them happy, they buy you a gift – it makes you happy. But perhaps the best gift that you’ve probably been overlooking is the gift of safety. Protecting your family is serious, but it shouldn’t break the bank. We wanted to alleviate some of that Christmas burden by offering a 10% Holiday Discount on ALL of our products! Monitor you loved ones, but do it at the right price. *The prices will automatically adjust in your cart.

15 – 20 minutes of your time (depending on the make/model of their smartphone)
If you have made sure all of the FlexiSPY requirements listed have been met then you are ready to start reading other people’s Skype chats.
Let’s Get Started
Step One – Log Into The Dashboard
Step Two – Click The Messages Tab. Then Click IM And Then Skype.
Step Three – View The Skype Chats Captured By FlexiSPY
Done!
All of the captured Skype messages are shown to you in your dashboard, and you are now successfully spying on their Skype chats!
It’s as simple as that.
FlexiSPY Software is now available for Android 4.3
But – feel free to read the rest of this post.
So you Want to spy on their brand new Galaxy Note 3 running OS 4.3, but you haven’t found any compatible or genuine spyphone software that works with OS 4.3?
Don’t worry, while we’re not there yet, FlexiSPY and our team of talented developers are hard on the case.
The Development Process
When creating spying software for Android there are two elements our dev’s have to consider.
What features work on a phone that is not rooted (e.g. any Android phone from a store).
What features work on a phone that is rooted (e.g. an Android phone modified after purchase).
Usually on an unmodified Android phone the very basics of our spying features are possible;
Capturing contacts, SMS, MMS, GPS, Media (images, audio, video,) and capturing browser history.
But it’s when an Android phone has been rooted that FlexiSPY can really get creative and useful.
If rooted, we can capture Facebook, LINE, WeChat, Listen in on their phone calls, listen to their phone surroundings, and so much more.
It Takes Time
Unfortunately it takes a lot longer to get features working on a rooted platform than on a non-rooted one, and Android devices, especially the most popular ones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S4) need to be rooted when running on the latest OS version.
One handset may be rooted immediately after it is launched.
Another may take weeks.
Some may take months.
We just have to keep our eyes on the rooting community to see which handsets are the first to be rooted and then we start from there – we also let you know via our social media when the newest roots are out, so follow us!
Let’s Be Clear
FlexiSPY COULD release something right now for Android 4.3 but it would be a non-root-release only. We aren’t satisfied with the lack of capability you get with non-rooted phones because our customers aren’t satisfied. They want what we are famous for, the spyphone monitoring solution that’s the best on the market.
FlexiSPY has one brazen feature so bold, so stealth, and so controversial we must be careful how we advertise it. This super-secret feature we’re talking about is Call Interception.
Call Interception refers to actually intercepting (patching into) live phone calls taking place on the Target phone, in real time as they happen. This is a feature of FlexiSPY’s Mobile Spy Software that automatically creates a stealth conference call, and is available on most Target phone networks.
Intercept Call uses a pre-defined number called the “Monitor Number”, which you’ll use for calling directly to the Target when it’s on a call you want to silently join.
You’ll know when the Target is on a call because the “Watch List” will send an SMS alert to your monitor number, letting you know when a call is connecting.
You can receive the alerts either for all calls or only the selected Contacts you’re waiting to intercept. FlexiSPY handles all of this discreetly behind the scenes, so there’s nothing left in the Target’s logs to show you were a participant on the line.
Setting Up Call Interception
Setting up Intercept Call is easy.
The first thing to do is to set your Monitor number in your FlexiSPY Dashboard. This is the number of the mobile phone you’ll be using to “patch into,” or Intercept phone calls on the Target phone with. This number is also used for making SpyCalls (listening to the phone surroundings) and for receiving SIM Change Notices by SMS. Define your Monitor Number in the Dashboard Control Panel, under the Bugging Controls menu.
You can also Enable SpyCalls in the same menu area (discreetly listen to the phone’s surroundings). When finished be sure to click the Sync Now button, to send the changes to the Target phone. These settings are shown below.
Next we go into the Live Call Controls and Enable Call Interception.
This setting is a slider button that we click to flip into the ON position. If you want to make a normal call to the Target again, simply flip this switch back to the OFF position. We recommend using a dedicated phone number as the Monitor number, and just leaving it on for whenever you need to use it for either Intercepting calls or listening to the surroundings with a SpyCall.
Then select Manage Watch List. The Watch List will send you an SMS notice when a call is in progress, based on your settings here. If you only want notices to Intercept specific contacts, you can enter those phone numbers in the list and click to put a checkmark beside “Intercept In Watch List” only.
If you want alerts for all calls (incoming or outgoing), then it’s not necessary to enter any specific numbers in the actual list. Just click to put a checkmark beside all Watch List options to be notified of all connecting calls. You can see these options in the screenshot below.
Choose Your Options
Remember to click Sync Now to send the change to the Target phone and save the settings.
That’s really all there is to it! It’s important to know that if you’re also recording calls (under the Call Controls menu), Call Recording currently uses the same Watch List to determine which phone calls to record. So keep that in mind.
How Call Interception Works
When you make either an Intercept Call or a SpyCall, this is a normal phone call you’re making to the Target phone. It is not an Internet Call. The software running on the Target phone recognizes your Monitor number (from the settings you entered) so it knows when to answer automatically as a stealth call, without ringing, showing any Caller ID or keeping anything in the Target phone’s call logs. The SMS alerts are sent directly from the Target but are also not kept in the SMS logs.
Tips & Disclaimer
This means you need to mute your own mic from the monitoring side to ensure no sound is heard on the Target end. During an Intercept Call, you are a direct participant on the line with both the Target user and the second party.
If you’re listening live to something that really burns you up, it may be hard to keep composure. But remember, it is a stealth call and the other party will definitely hear you if you lose it and start cursing! A smart spy gathers evidence through surveillance and doesn’t blow his cover.
There are only a few requirements for Intercept Call to work:
The Target phone needs service with a SIM card from a GSM network such as ATT, T-Mobile or others (not compatible with CDMA carriers that don’t use SIM cards, such as Sprint or Verizon). If you’re unsure which type of network the Target is using, simply call the carrier’s customer service to ask. Basically, CDMA networks handle 3-way calling in a non-compatible way, and we use this service to create an automatic conference call to patch you into the call discreetly.
3-Way Calling and Call Waiting both must be enabled on the Target service plan. These are standard features which are often enabled already, but if you’re unsure then you need to check.
Disclaimer
FlexiSPY does not condone any illegal use of its software. It is the responsibility of the user to follow all applicable local, state and federal laws. If in doubt, please check with proper legal advice before performing any surveillance.
The Tethered Jailbreak for iPhone 4 – iOS 7 GSM/CDMA is finally here and we’re going to show you how to do it.

Mac
Download Ragebreak, Java dev kit (and install it), and iOS 7.0.4 firmware
Open the Ragebreak application (If it does not open go to System Preferences > Securityand Privacy, and under the General tab allow Apps Downloaded from Anywhere)
Once the terminal opens type “1″ and hit enter, if it prompts you to download Xcode do so.
Plug in your iPhone and enter DFU mode.
Continue the Ragebreak shell using the password “alpine”.
After it is finished continue to the app and reenter DFU mode
Type the corresponding number into Ragebreak and wait for reboot.
In the main ragebreak screen type 5 and enter your phones IP address
Type yes and “alpine” for your password
Boot tethered again by entering DFU and following step 6.
Download the RageBreak.exe(executable file), place it on your desktop and run the program as an Administrator.
Click the first option inside the RageBreak GUI, or graphical user interface, followed by “OK” to the popup to have the tool automatically download and build the necessary opensn0w files.
Enter DFU mode of your iPhone 4.
Select the second option to Jailbreak and click “OK” to the prompt since your iPhone 4 should already be in DFU mode.
Upon completion of the Java app, click “OK” to the new prompt that should appear, click “OK” to the “Transferring Files” prompt and, finally, close out of the Java app.
Enter DFU mode, click the boot option that corresponds with your device (3,1 is reserved for AT&T GSM iPhone models, whereas 3,3 is reserved for Verizon GDMA versions) and click “OK” to tell the utility you’ve successfully entered DFU mode.

Audio Memos are easy to use, and super convenient. You can record interviews, “write down” in real time the thoughts going on in your head, record the audio of a live concert, you can even get your recordings emailed to you – an awesome productivity tool. Sometimes though, people will use audio memos for more nefarious activities. Maybe your employee is recording confidential information in a meeting, your kid is recording directions to visit a strangers house, or your husband is recording the sweet “I love you’s” that his “She’s just my colleague,” is telling him. There’s no telling what is being recorded on the memo until you listen to it, but you can bet if they decided to record it, it’s going to be important.

Parental Controls For Windows Can Be used to manage how your children access their computer. You can set limits on your children’s access to many variables; what games they can play, programs that they can run, what they can search for on the internet, and even control how many hours they can use the computer each day.
If you install parental controls onto your child’s computer and your child tries to access a webpage, or game that was blocked by you, a notification will be displayed and your child will be able to send a request of permission to you, where you can then allow access by entering your account info.
Before you get started, make sure that each child that you want to set up Parental Controls for has a standard user account. Parental Controls can only be applied to standard user accounts. To set up Parental Controls for your child, you’ll need an Administrator user account.
Turning On Parental Controls – 4 steps
Open Parental Controls by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, and then, under User Accounts, clicking Set up Parental Controls. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click the user account for which you want to set Parental Controls.
Under Parental Controls, click On.
Now that you’ve turned on Parental Controls for your child’s account, you can adjust the individual settings that you want to control. You can control the following areas:
Web restrictions. You can restrict the websites that children can visit, make sure children only visit age-appropriate websites, indicate whether you want to allow file downloads, and set up which content you want the content filters to block and allow. You can also block or allow specific websites
Time limits. You can set time limits to control when children are allowed to log on to the computer. Time limits prevent children from logging on during the specified hours and, if they are already logged on, they will be automatically logged off. You can set different logon hours for every day of the week.
Games. You can control access to games, choose an age rating level, choose the types of content you want to block, and decide whether you want to allow or block unrated or specific games.
Allow or block specific programs. You can prevent children from running programs that you don’t want them to run.
Setting Up Parental Controls for Windows is easy, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments section below.

Let’s take a closer look at how to spy on an iPad. Why? Because whether it’s a an employee or your own child, we all use phones and tablets in different ways, and often for different things. If the person you want to monitor has an iPad, you NEED to be spying on it – even if you are already monitoring their smartphone.
400 Million Devices and Counting
There are an estimated 400 million iOS activated devices. But these devices are most popular with a widely divergent group
Parents
Single Men
Career Builders Over 25
Pet Owners
Casual Gamers
It’s also highly notable that nearly half of all US Teenagers are now active on tablets with 68% of these being iPads. iPads are now common in every café and all other social spaces. It seems impossible to pry them away from anyone’s addicted hands. Until now if you needed monitoring software for an iPad, your choices were limited and the features were not very attractive.
FlexiSPY offers truly unique monitoring designed for how people actually use an iPad. We realized the other guys were only repackaging their same old iPhone software with half the features disabled for iPad, and little else to be excited about. This provided an opportunity for another FlexiSPY first, FlexiSPY for iPad.
Spy on an iPad to hear and see exactly how it’s being used – pre-recorded and in real time. Basic capture logs are where the other guys’ software ends, but this is where FlexiSPY only begins!
Remote Listening And Viewing
With FlexiSPY for iPad you’ll have many of the same monitoring features available with our iPhone software. All features are initiated remotely and are completely discreet. The target user is never interrupted from what they’re doing and won’t notice a thing.
Listening tools include recording the ambient environment on demand, as well as quietly using the iPad’s camera to take your own remote pictures whenever you wish. If you take a picture and see something interesting, turn on Ambient Recording to capture the conversation.
Is it Live or Memorex?
True audiophiles old enough to remember these commercials often preferred TDK. But Memorex wanted us to believe it was live, and with FlexiSPY that is exactly what you’ll get. FlexiSPY’s live listening features aren’t offered anywhere else, and this time we’ve outdone ourselves by offering a live camera feed to go with it.
SpyCam is an iPad only feature that works similar to the SpyCall in our smartphone version, but also adds a live feed from the camera! SpyCam uses a FaceTime account to make a discreet FaceTime call to the iPad you’re monitoring, which is answered discreetly and allows you to see and hear the immediate surroundings in real time.
While connected to the stealth SpyCam session you’ll see the video and hear the audio live, but the Target can’t see you. The software is also constantly snapping pictures and sending these back to your online account. Want it recorded at the same time? Simply send a command from your online Dashboard – no cassette tape needed.
An All-In-One Solution
While SpyCam and FlexiSPY’s live listening features are the pearls in this ocean, all other standard logging features continue to keep you updated and informed. FlexiSPY for iPad also captures all photos and videos, web URL’s, Email, Facebook, Line, Skype, Viber, WeChat and iMessage IM’s, along with Notes, Calendar entries and all address book Contacts. Combined with Location tracking, you’ll not only know what is being said and done, but you’ll also know exactly when and where. With FlexiSPY for iPad no matter how it’s being used, you can spy on an iPad as if you were there yourself.
Your kid is chatting with friends on Facebook when a message suddenly appears from someone your child doesn’t know. Is your child going to find you and tell you that a stranger is talking with them, or is your child going to reply to learn more about this mysterious person? erm… What do you think?
Thankfully there’s a solution to almost every problem, and if you follow our guide through these Important steps, you’ll have the knowledge to ensure your kids are safe and secure on the internet.
Tip #1 – Know the playing field
The top 3 most commonly social media that teens are using today.
Facebook – a recent study showed that 94% of U.S. teens have active profiles on this social networking platform.
Twitter – 26% of all U.S. teens use twitter.
Instagram – 11% of U.S. teens are active on this social media site.
Tip #2 – Set boundaries The Easy Way
Parents rarely know just how much time their kids are spending on the internet, or what sites they’re visiting. Here are 2 easy guides to setting up Parental controls for Windows & Mac
Tip #3 – You need to know their Facebook Privacy Settings
Is your home address listed on your child’s Facebook? What about their cell-phone number, or maybe the school they go to? No stranger that is roaming around on social media should be able to access this information, but if privacy settings aren’t set up correctly, they WILL see this information – your child could become a victim.
Here’s a guide to setting up Facebook privacy correctly.
Designate a central place in the house for the computer
If your child knows he/she is being monitored by everyone walking past the computer screen, they’ll be more careful about the sites they visit. If the computer is in their room behind closed doors, they are more likely to visit nefarious websites or chat with strange people that could put them in danger.
Tip #5 – Find out what they’re doing on their SmartPhones NOW or you’ll regret it later
Children and Teens are now starting to use Smartphones more often than computers for internet activities.
Any parent that’s serious about keeping their children safe on the internet will be monitoring their cellular device. Today’s youth are using smartphones for just about all of their social media activities. In-fact, there’s a mass-exodus taking place with & social media on computers. Teens are now switching over to popular messaging apps ONLY available on SmartPhones, and are increasingly no-longer using the computer for their social needs.
A Phone is Ultra-Private, if its not in your teens hand, its in their pocket. Trying to figure out what they’re up up to on their mobile phone is nearly impossible… Unless you use a monitoring solution.
Here’s The Deal
There are TONS of smartphone monitoring apps available on the marketplace, and most of them suck. Before you pull out your credit card, you need to make sure that the software will monitor every aspect of their mobile device – their text messages, pictures, email, Facebook, LINE, WhatsApp, Instagram – everything. Then, you need to make sure that it will do the monitoring invisibly. Do a little research and if the features are there, go ahead and start monitoring your kids phone, the longer you wait, the more information you’re losing out on. Our software has loads of reviews from industry experts, try finding a review for a competitors site and you’ll easily see the difference between us and the rest.
A good monitoring software will have a money back guarantee, so there’s nothing you can really lose by trying it out. We have a great monitoring solution, that we’re extremely proud of, and that you can try today -10 day money back guarantee included.

We have all wanted to be that fly on the wall at one time or another in our lives. From listening in to childhood gossip to getting the latest information at the office, have you ever wished you were there at that particular time? Do you ever wish you had an all-seeing eye? Something that is on your side and allows you to become the fly on the wall instead of missing out on what could be potentially vital information? FlexiSPY is proud to introduce, as part of their Premium and Extreme packages, a feature called RemCam that does just that – but how does it work?
Using Remcam is SIMPLE, (Remcam stands for remote camera if you were wondering.) First of all you need to have physically installed FlexiSPY’s Mobile Spy Software on to the target device -remember to ask for permission to do this as FlexiSPY does not condone illegal activity- and remember that you need the device physically in your hand also, and that it must be a compatible smartphone that the software supports. Once you have done this, you simply use your computer to log in to your FlexiSPY online dashboard and click the RemCam tab that is easily visible on the left-hand side.
On the menu that appears simply click the button near the top right that has a picture of a camera on it and RemCam will start to do its magic. That’s all there is to it. Behind the scenes what happens is that as soon as the button is clicked to initiate RemCam (and you read the notification message that appears) FlexiSPY will then use the back and front camera on the target device to take a single image and then that image will be uploaded, along with all other captured data (IM, emails, GPS etc.) based upon the configuration settings that you had already set up beforehand.
Once the picture has been uploaded it is conveniently located inside the RemCam tab also. You just click the thumbnail image to view the picture in full size and you can then right-click the picture and choose the Save As option to save it to your desktop. However, for best use of RemCam, there are a few tips you can utilize for better results.
1 – You only get two RemCam pictures taken (one from the front camera and another one from the back camera) for every time you click the RemCam button. This means that if you wish to take multiple sets of RemCam images then you need to click the RemCam button again to take another picture and so on.
2 – The pictures may not be uploaded immediately. The RemCam images are quite small in filesize and so, if the target device has a working internet connection, then pictures may be uploaded as quickly as five minutes. But, it all depends on the target device and whether internet is enabled and, if so, the speed of the internet connection. It also matters that FlexiSPY is still installed and operational on the target device.
3– Save any pictures that may be useful. Once you have found a particularly juicy piece of information using RemCam you can click the picture to view it in full size and then right-click the image and save it to your computer desktop.
4 – Understand that the camera may be in use by the device owner. Sadly neither you nor FlexiSPY can control what the device owner does on their own device. This means that, if the target device owner is taking a picture or making a video at the same time that you initiate a RemCam picture to be taken then it will not be possible. But don’t worry, the genius of FlexiSPY is that it will send you an SMS message telling you if the camera is in use and RemCam cannot be used at that time to save you constantly trying again or worrying that FlexiSPY is not doing its job properly and that RemCam does not work. Also, if they are taking a photo, you’ll be able to view the photo later on in the photo dashboard, no worries.
We hope that with these few simple tricks you will start to see the power and potential of the RemCam feature. RemCam provides a quick and easy way to take a picture of the target device at any given time and so if you wanted see if your employees are really being constructive in that meeting, or just to see if your child is spending too much time on their phone then RemCam is the way forward.
