Illegal to use spyware to read other people's SMSes: police
By Lynda Hong, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 28 June 2007 2222 hrs


SINGAPORE : Some Singaporeans have bought spyware via the internet, which allows one to read someone else's SMS messages.

Police warned that this is illegal as it violates the Computer Misuse Act.

They added that offenders could be fined by up to $10,000 or jailed for up to three years, or both.

But that hasn't deterred some from buying the spyware for S$207 at foreign websites.

All you need to do is to download the software into the mobile phone, and monitor the SMSes via a website.

Lawyers said users are liable for a civil suit as they are viewing what's considered sensitive information. - CNA /ls

Kinda unfair that they view this as intrusion of privacy but would break into your homes and check your pc for the illegal downloading of software, movies and music.

人情味不是偏私而是博爱，

不是施舍而是关怀。

不是表面的礼貌，

而是内心的尊重。

Friends will bail you out of jail.but Best Friends will be sitting by you saying,
" that was awesome !"

In this hi tech society, i think this is just a minor issue that is being caused by the fast moving technology too.
