The gadget that fits in your backpack intercepts data from Gmail and social networks from users' phones for law enforcement.

Spy things have always been small - after all, in order for a scout (or a spy, depending on how to evaluate the work of such a specialist) could use a secret device, it must be portable. In our time, miniaturization has reached unprecedented heights, this is not worth mentioning once again. And just thanks to technology, governments of different countries can monitor their citizens with the help of very interesting instruments.

One of them is mentioned in more detail. This is MABIT Scope, a system for remotely reading information from users' smartphones. The size of the system allows you to place it in a backpack, and produces its Israeli company Magen 100. Information about this device was posted in the brochure of the Israeli company, which was distributed at Interpol World 2015, an event held last year in Singapore.

The device is described as a system that can scan all smartphones within its range. When scanning, MABIT Scope intercepts user account data from cloud services. Among others - Gmail, Hotmail, Google Drive.

In addition, the device can receive the full profile of the user from the phone: photo, name, URL log, geodata, phone identifier. No learning system is required, nor is physical contact with the target device.



In general, it is not very clear how it all works, but there are similar products. For example, Rayzone Group offers “InterApp”, a system capable (according to the manufacturer) to read the data of any smartphone user within the radius of action. Another company, Wintego, sells a product called WINT. But only Mabit Scope has small dimensions.



When the online media journalists tried to contact the company to clarify some details, a response from the Magen 100 manager was received. He said that the company “provides the good guys with a tool to fight the bad guys.” In this case, "some things are a secret."

Interestingly, the company itself operates according to the law. So says, for example, Richard Tynan (Richard Tynan), technologist Privacy International. He says that more and more companies are beginning to produce and advertise such products, which is a danger to ordinary users.

In addition to the systems already mentioned above, you can add a device from Netline Communications Technologies, called ManPack. This device allows you to intercept "WiFi communication."

Magen products are supplied to police, intelligence officers, government agencies and the military, according to the information in the brochure. It is proposed to fight against "crime and vandalism", as well as with terrorists and drug dealers.
