Mobile device monitoring and control system

A method for surreptitiously installing, monitoring, and operating software on a remote computer controlled wireless communication device, said method comprising providing a control system for communicating unauthorized programming instructions and unauthorized exchanging of data with said remote computer controlled wireless communication device such that said programming instructions and data are accepted by said remote computer controlled wireless device as if authorized and the user of said device is unaware of said unauthorized communicating and exchanging, said control system being configured to provide at least one action selected from the group consisting of:

• establishing communication with said remote computer controlled wireless communication device using a device controller;
• relaying programming instructions and data to and from said remote computer controlled wireless communication device;
• providing a module repository in electronic communication with said device controller, said module repository configured to store software modules comprising programming instructions to be communicated to said remote computer controlled wireless communication device;
• providing information about said remote computer controlled wireless communication device using a control service in electronic communication with said device controller;
• providing an exfiltration data service in electronic communication with said device controller, and configuring said exfiltration data service to receive, store, and manage data obtained surreptitiously from said remote computer controlled wireless communication device;
• providing a listen-only recording service in electronic communication with said device controller, and configuring said listen-only recording service to receive surreptitiously, telephone communications from said remote computer controlled wireless communication device;
• and
• providing a WAP gateway in electronic communication with said remote computer controlled wireless communication device, and configuring said WAP gateway to provide WAP services to said remote computer controlled wireless communication device in addition to at least one of recording, blocking, filtering, delaying, redirecting or modifying WAP requests from and responses to said remote computer controlled wireless communication device.
