Is Your Phone Secretly Recording You?

Tue Aug 12, 2025

You’re sitting at home, scrolling through your messages.
Your phone is in your hand — and you trust it.

But what if, at this very moment, someone else is:

  • Listening to your private conversations
  • Watching through your front camera
  • Tracking your every move in real time
All without you having the slightest clue.
The Silent Spy in Your Pocket Spyware is no longer something only governments use.
Today, anyone with ₹5,000 and an internet connection can buy a tool that:
  • Activates your microphone and camera without the light turning on
  • Logs every keystroke — passwords, bank PINs, messages
  • Sends your GPS location to the attacker every few seconds
  • Copies your entire photo and chat history
You won’t see it. You won’t hear it.
Your battery won’t even drain much more than usual.

The Real Danger? 

It’s not just cybercriminals anymore.

We’ve seen spyware installed by:
  • Jealous partners
  • Competitors in business
  • Stalkers targeting women through dating apps
  • Fraudsters looking for personal data to sell
And once the spyware is on your phone, factory reset may not even remove it if it’s deeply embedded.
Recent Case – August 2025 

A woman in Pune reported strange calls and threats from a stranger who knew details about her private life — down to the clothes she wore at home.

Forensic checks revealed her phone had been infected with commercial-grade spyware installed after she clicked a “delivery tracking” link on WhatsApp.
How to Tell If You’re Being Watched
  • Your phone heats up when idle
  • Background noise or faint clicks during calls
  • Unknown apps that don’t uninstall
  • Strange data usage even when not browsing
