Intercepting Text Messages

US plans to provide Iraq with wiretapping system

The United States is planning to provide the Iraqi government with a wiretapping system to eavesdrop on cellular calls and messages “to assist in combating criminal organizations and insurgencies,” according to a U.S. Air Force contract solicitation.

The proposed system would allow Iraqi officials to monitor and store voice calls, data transmissions and text messages and would be installed with the acquiescence of the three current cellular communications providers in Iraq, according to documents accompanying the solicitation.

The system, which would be able to target at least 5,000 devices, would be designed for expansion to cover land-line telephone systems and international mobile telecommunications.

Maj. Gen. Jeffrey S. Buchanan, spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq, said the equipment would be similar to the technology used by federal and state law enforcement agencies in the United States. “Iraq’s stringent surveillance laws require law enforcement to obtain a warrant before accessing and monitoring private conversations,” he said in a statement last week.

An American contractor would buy, install and maintain the equipment, and would train the Iraqis to run it. As envisioned in the solicitation, the system’s computerized monitoring stations will be located in Baghdad at an existing signals intelligence center, backed up by computer servers at the Interior Ministry’s National Information and Investigation Agency, the country’s primary investigative agency.

“This is a country where there is still a threat from Sunni and Shia elements and as the U.S. withdraws and insurgency dies down, there is a core structure of organized crime that will assert itself,” said Anthony Cordesman, an Iraq expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Calling the intercept system a key source of intelligence, Cordesman said that if the United States did not supply the system, the Iraqis would buy it elsewhere.

“It is scarcely a technology unique to the United States,” he said.

The United States set up a similar system in Afghanistan three years ago to assist the Drug Enforcement Administration in its investigations of suspected terrorists involved in the drug trade. A budget document supplied to Congress in 2007 described planned procurement of “field switch-based equipment to support communications intercepts through cooperation with cellular and hard-line telephone service providers.

How To Intercept Text Messages

For anyone wondering how to intercept text messages, I have two words for you – It’s easy!

By being able to intercept text messages you can find out exactly what is going on in someone’s life.  Just think about what you could find out by seeing everything that they’ve texted and anything that anyone else has texted to them…

Texting is the new way for people to communicate.  It’s now used by almost everyone who has a cell phone.

And people will text each other about anything!  There’s no doubt that being able to intercept text messages would give you a lot of information about someone!

To intercept text messages all you’ll need is cell phone spying software .  This will let you see all of the texts from the phone that you want to monitor.

And that’s even texts that the person deletes.  It doesn’t matter if the owner of the phone wipes the text messages from the phone, you can still see it.

Cell phone spying software is simple to use.  Here’s how it works:

1) You install the program on the cell phone where you want to intercept text messages.  This part takes 2 minutes and is very easy.

2) To look at the person’s text messages, you just login to a website (you’ll get a username and password) and you can then see everything from the phone right on your computer screen.  And you can do this from any computer no matter where you are.

You can more than just intercept text messages with this software, you can also see things like the phone calls from the phone, the full contact list, any instant messages and even any photos taken with the phone.  It’s cool stuff to see (kinda makes me feel like a spy agent lol)

Anyways, if you want to intercept text messages, you’ll be happy with just how easy it is!
