Spyware was developed for the purposes of active intelligence-gathering work. Their functionality enables implementing information into a device, modifying content stored on it, using social media accounts, and even total surveillance of the user by means of the integrated microphone and camera. Considering the features of such software tools, the need to gather information, as well as the technological advances, it is impossible to efficiently remove the related risks of violation of secrets protected by law by means of normative regulations. Unless and until tools capable of blocking the operation of such software are developed, the only solution that might mitigate the aforementioned risks is security-conscious use of smartphones and limiting their use in places or situations where smartphone surveillance might involve heightened risk of confidential information being revealed.
