Your Android phone, without apps, may be keylogging you (IMPORTANT)

It's a 17 minute video, so I'll summarize:

if you have an Android device with the stock service provider/manufacturer OS, you may have an app on your Settings -> Manage Applications -> All with "IQ" in the name. This is a keylogger that records your button presses in chunks, and then sends this information back to the phone manufacturer in small bursts (re: not in real time, so you won't always be able to 'see' it in action).

For example, one may be called "HTC IQagent".

The only way to circumvent this is to root your phone and install a clean OS, at this time.

Stay safe my friends!

p.s. the keylogging part of the video starts around 10 minutes.
