A new Fox News report states that one mistake could allow the Iranian government to spy on American citizens.

An Overview of Iran’s ‘Cyber Repression’

The Iranian government’s potential ability to spy on Americans comes via technological means. Investigators furthermore affirm that at least hundreds of cell phone apps are being employed by Iranians as a means to keep tabs on Americans and other people around the world.

Deputy director Alireza Jafarzadeh provided additional intel:

“The Iranian regime is currently hard at work to test the success of these apps on the people of Iran first. If not confronted, its next victims will be the people of other nations.”

Fox News also states that Google officials have started a probe into the foregoing matter.

Telegram Black, Mobogram, and Telegram Farsi are some of the potentially dangerous apps with links to the Iranian government.

Roughly 40 million Iranians once used the Telegram app. The app’s popularity was engendered by the ease in which Iranian citizens could keep in contact with friends and relatives.
