Casually scrolling through a Low Memory Crash Report, I noted "MSpy" listed as one of the active processes. Alarmed, I did some digging and determined that this was, indeed, spyware that could only have been put onto a jailbroken phone. I uploaded Lookout and it revealed that my phone was, as I suspected, jailbroken. I did not do this.
There are only two possible suspects here: a repair shop I took my phone to the second week of April for glass screen replacement, where I literally waited 10 minutes and they were done and I was on my way, or my husband. I almost always have my phone on me but clearly I cannot watch it 24-7, so it's certainly possible for him to access my phone without my knowing (like when I am sleeping).
Low Memory Crashes in March do not list MSpy at all, whereas every single Low Memory Crash Report after April 26 lists MSpy as a process, if not THE largest process at the time of the crash. It makes me suspect that April 26 was somewhere around the time that the spyware was installed, but I am not certain.
When I think back and start remembering all of the odd things my phone has done lately, it makes sense. However, some of those odd things happened before the April 26 date, so that's another reason I am having a hard time figuring out when this might have been done.
I was able to code the Cydia app back into view on my phone, but I can't log into it. Obviously I don't know how to log into the MSpy account that my phone is linked to.
Can anyone help me determine when my phone was jailbroken? I have two different backup files that I can dig through - one from this week, which I can definitely see spyware indications inside of (like the word "Cydia", "MSpy", "Iphoneinternalservice", for example), and another dated March 10th, where I have not been able to find any hints at spyware (none of the above words can be found inside the files) - although admittedly I know very little about this stuff and hardly know what to even look for. It's possible I could have missed something in the March backupfiles.
Or, can anyone help me figure out when MSpy was put onto my phone? Or Cydia?
It makes a huge difference knowing whether or not it was my husband vs a stranger. I don't want to point fingers and accuse without some solid footing...not only because I don't want to make false accusations, but also because if I'm not certain of what I'm suspicious of and my husband denies involvement, well, where does that leave me?
Thank you very much to anyone who has any insight to share on this....
