The more things change, the more they stay the same, and the number one question of parents 50 years ago is probably still the number one question of parents today: Just where exactly is our kid right now? The good news is that 50 years ago every kid (and human being for that matter) didn’t have a cell phone, and consequently it wasn’t possible to track their movement, location, etc.
Spouses of adulterers, beware! Two iPhone and BlackBerry apps just made having an affair even easier.
AshleyMadison.com, a personals website with the telling slogan “Life is short, have an affair”, has iPhone and Blackberry applications designed to help married people find partners without leaving a trace of the affair on work or home computers.
From early 2006 to August 2008, former presidential candidate John Edwards was able to keep secret an intense affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter. Although the scandal eventually became public, Edwards used some key tricks and techniques to hide his affair, detailed in former aide Paul Young’s new book, The Politician.
Have an accomplice. Paul Young helped facilitate and hide the affair in a number of ways. From booking hotel rooms under his name to falsely claiming paternity of Edwards’ and Hunter’s love child, he was the perfect accomplice (until he wrote his tell-all book, that is).
With the rise in popularity of text messaging, it’s no surprise that increasingly more adulterers are being outed by their cell phones.
The most prominent recent example is Tiger Woods: After allegedly carrying on secret affairs with numerous women over several years, he was finally undone by text messages sent to Rachel Uchitel, the first mistress to be unveiled. A friend of hers told the National Enquirer about the affair, claiming she had seen incriminating text messages. The published rumors likely led to Tiger’s fight with his wife, Elin Nordegren, and subsequent car accident. For further embarrassment, another one of Tiger’s mistresses, Jaimee Grubbs, then gave illicit text messages incriminating Tiger to US Weekly, which then published them.
I got the following question the other day:
Question: Is it possible to have sim cards from cell phones uploaded to recover deleted text messages? If so, is this a service that you offer? What is the average cost of this?
Answer: We do have technology that can extract the data off sim cards. The data includes call logs and text messages, even deleted messages. The cost depends on the type of phone so please call us at 1-888-789-FACT to discuss.
