The news raised concerns that the application called "Carrier IQ," was installed clandestinely in many of the phones, at a time when experts said that some of this concern is exaggerated.
On Monday, published researcher and developer Trevor Eckhart a 17-minute video on YouTube and explain how the application on the phone stores every click and every text and every e-mail address of any site visited, and preserve the records.
By Thursday, the story turned to the great controversy, and rushed mobile operators and manufacturers of smart phones to refute the allegations of Eckhart and others who said they confirmed the findings of the researcher.
And Friday morning, arrived in the controversy to the courts, where a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court of Northern California against the application, and the two companies, "Samsung," and "HTC," claiming that the application violates the privacy of customers.
The lawyer said Steve W. Berman, in a written statement "Because of our dependence on smart phones, and the presumption that the information that we have is a personal protected from third parties .. With this, it seems that this application has violated that trust."
