Carrier IQ is not as scary as it looks, suggests study

While many are accusing Carrier IQ of all kinds of mischief, including logging the text messages, call information, and browsing history of unsuspecting subscribers, others claim that the controversial software is much more harmless than it is being portrayed. Dan Rosenberg, who is a security expert at VSR, shares in his blog that Carrier IQ is actually unable to read the contents of text messages, e-mails, and other types of sensitive data. In other words, the carrier cannot use the software to eavesdrop on you even if it wanted to.
