Hi. New to forums, and trying to find info for a coworker. I know squat about Evos and Android, so let me just say that right off the bat.
Coworker's daughter called in hysterics. Someone has gotten access to her boyfriend's Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter account, and text messages. This person has also bragged that they know every phone call, text, etc that he makes on his phone, and made comments that they "own" his Sprint Evo phone, and it does indeed appear that they know everything that's happening on his phone. They have even somehow pulled photos off his phone, if I'm understanding correctly (there was a lot of sobbing involved).
Both kids are young college age, good kids, great reputations, and this sounds to me like an awful lot like a third party female with an issue. Both moms are flummoxed, since he's not had a serious girlfriend til now, and both kids are really rattled, since some of the stuff they're getting is really stalkerish. This person is going to the extreme of setting up throwaway Yahoo and Twitter accounts they delete as soon as they send some nastiness to both kids, and they also knew the instant he set up a new gmail account, and had his password.
I know pretty much any idiot can hack a Facebook or Yahoo account, but hacking a phone sounds pretty tech savvy, and this is a very personal attack.
Is there something about the Evo I'm missing here that they can read his texts, etc, without having his phone in their hands?
Both kids are really rattled and upset, so any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
