“Der Spiegel reported on the NSA’s access to smartphones and, in particular, the iPhone back in September. Today, these reports expand to the NSA’s apparent ability to access just about all your iPhone data through a program called DROPOUTJEEP. The NSA apparently claims a 100% success rate in installing the malware on iPhones. Of course, Apple is hardly the only smartphone maker targeted by the NSA. According to Der Spiegel, Android and even Blackberry have been cracked by the agency, though perhaps not so thoroughly. Taken as a whole, each of these revelations and reports paint a grim portrait of government overreach.”
