Ed Snowden Says Smartphones Can Be "Controlled"

Snowden in his latest revelations reveals your smartphone can be switched on without you knowing it, enabling AUDIO and VIDEO to be sent back to the NSA/GCHQ using capabilities named after SMURFs (those blue cartoon characters lol)

Once GCHQ had gained access to a user's handset, Mr Snowden said the agency would be able to see "who you call, what you've texted, the things you've browsed, the list of your contacts, the places you've been, the wireless networks that your phone is associated with. And they can do much more. They can photograph you.
