A few weeks ago, local US smartphone manufacturer BLU was caught out unintentionally sending sensitive user data to Adups, a data farming company in China. According to research conducted by mobile security firm Trustlook , a range of other manufacturers, including notable brands Lenovo , Gionee , and ZTE , have been using software from the same company and their own consumers may be affected. For a refresher, Adups software is used to provide over-the-air firmware updates for hundreds of companies and also acts as a data collector to build a database for spam text prevention.
However, the software package was caught out collecting and transmitting sensitive user data without consent, including contact, call, and SMS data, every 72 hours after receiving a modified OTA update. BLU never intended to collect this data from consumers and swiftly removed Adups from its phones, but at the time it was also speculated that other manufacturers could also be running the same software with the same risks to consumer data.
Chip manufacturer MediaTek, which is based in Taiwan, is also on the list, and could mean that a larger number of devices are affected. This revelation contradicts an earlier statement from Adups, which claimed that the surveillance features of its FOTA software were specifically developed for the Chinese market, and that it was unintentionally sent as an update to BLU devices in the US.
If you are really concerned about the possibility of Adups spying on your messages and other data, it may be wise to steer clear of all of these manufacturers until they clarify the situation. If you currently own a device from one of the manufacturers on the list, Trustlook has incorporated a test for Adups into its AntiVirus software.
Clever marketing, I know. You can download it for free from the Google Play Store. Currently no other manufacturers have admitted to being involved in this data collection fiasco. Robert Triggs. Original: A few weeks ago, local US smartphone manufacturer BLU was caught out unintentionally sending sensitive user data to Adups, a data farming company in China. The SMS commands do require an actual text message to be sent to the spy phone, although a series of spaces in the message instructs the Ultra software to control the requested feature.
This information is fed through to the Web panel in real-time. On top of this for a rooted phone Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo emails can also be captured. This will only work for the main email account for each type, also the actual email itself will only be available and no attachments can be captured. Although the phone being monitored may not always have Internet access, this will not mean that the software cannot catalogue the phone activity. The software will still store it covertly on the phones internal memory and then, when next connected to the Internet, upload this data to the Web panel.
After the captured information has been shared with the panel it will be automatically deleted from the phone memory storage. The spy software application is totally hidden. It does not appear as an icon on the phone screen, in the systems apps or as a running app, so it really is invisible.
In addition to its invisibility, it is almost impossible to wipe the software from the phone even if the phone user undertakes a security wipe when the phone is rooted! You should be in no doubt that this has to be the ultimate spy phone software available. No other spy phone app is so discrete, so swift to install and has so many features. The Web monitoring panel really is well laid and simple to use with information catalogued in such an intuitive way that even a new user will be able to find their way around in a matter of minutes.
Information on the panel can be very easily downloaded in commonly used formats, with no additional software is required. Currently the software fully works for Android OS 8. Android 9 and 10 have some limitations at present such as call recording. No, the Ultra Spy Phone Software itself is the one that is being monitored and feeds its activity information out discreetly.
The phone being monitored does not need a SIM for the software to function, only an Internet connection to feed the data out to the web panel. Changing the SIM in the phone is not a problem. No, the software is completely hidden away. It cannot even be viewed in running apps or as operating system apps. Does the phone give any indication to the user that there is spy software on it? The software is designed to run discreetly in the background.
There are no indications whatsoever to the phone user.
No-one will ever know. Information is sent to a Web panel specifically designed to monitor and catalogue the information sent through. A secure login is set up to access the information and control the spy phone. Some features of the software can be remotely switched on and off using either remote commands on the panel or by special SMS commands.
The software would remain on the phone.
Normal spy software would be eradicated by this process, but our software is so advanced that this will not happen. The software uses the data connection to communicate information out.

It appears Amazon has tried to prevent that secondary abuse, but the primary abuse—that Amazon gets the video—Amazon expects society to surrender to. Tony OP Mar The app may not have the biggest list of features, but it does have all the necessary ones, including many exclusives like the Call Time Activity Punch Card, actuarial reports for top callers and top browsed sites, etc.
A complete data breakdown is never evident on a bill, so the user will only see that they have used a certain amount of data that is within their monthly allocation. When a WiFi connection is used to send out data, then this will never figure in any way on the bill.
