Carrier IQ Faces Federal Probe

I like how these guys claim that their software might have captured keystrokes by accident. I wish I had a gigantic "eye roll" smiley to use right here but, since I don't, I'll just use two regular size ones instead. The controversy over the software company, based in Silicon Valley, erupted a few weeks ago when security researcher Trevor Eckhart discovered evidence that a piece of software developed by the company and found on smartphones captured every keystroke and text message written by users and sent the information on the handsets to carriers.
