Android Researcher Hit With C&D After Dissecting Monitoring Software

snap20110223174339Android security researcher Trevor Eckhart has recently found himself in some hot water after performing a deep dive into mobile tracking software from a company called Carrier IQ. He managed to figure out how Carrier IQ's software worked and what it could monitor, but in doing so he has earned the company's ire. Carrier IQ has filed a cease-and-desist letter [PDF] against Eckhart claiming that he committed copyright infringement by reproducing some of the company's training materials in his post and that he made "false allegations" about the nature of their software.
