(Before It's News)

There is a very good chance you are being spied on every time you use a Flashlight App on your cellphone.  When you turn the light on your location at that moment is likely being sent to people in Russia, China and India.

Not only that, software Trojans can be downloaded to your cell phone, potentially compromising your emails and more.  A cyber security expert, Gary Miliefsky, found this out because his own cell phone started acting up and his firm figured out why.  Most Flashlight apps for cell phones have the spyware built in.  If you have not downloaded a flashlight app, you should not be in danger.  Not all, but most flashlight apps have the spyware built in and criminal motives appear to be behind it.

Bret Baier of Fox interviewed Miliefsky.  You can watch the interview below which covers the subject in detail.  This appears to be a serious security issue.  We suggest you send this article to others so they can protect themselves from this danger.
