Just when you thought that surveillance technology couldn't get any more invasive, along comes a device that can steal your social media passwords, grab your emails, siphon your Dropbox contents, and build a detailed profile of your digital life, if your phone is close enough to it.
That's the promise made by “InterApp” a small black-and-white box that targets smartphones, offered by Rayzone Group,
a surveillance company from Israel. Rayzone Group calls the product an “Apps and Cloud Interception System.”
Forbes was
the first to mention the product in a recent article detailing a surveillance trade show in Paris in November. Motherboard found brochures for InterApp, as well as Rayzone Group's other products, online (embedded below).
The product brochure says that InterApp “does not require any cooperation from the phone owner. The only required condition is that the WIFI transmitter of the mobile device will be open (No need to surf the web).”In short,
Rayzone Group’s website claims that an InterApp device is able to steal the data of “any phone user” within its proximity.
