Farashin IQ – A halin yanzu ana amfani da wannan sunan a duk kafofin watsa labarai ta hannu. An gano shi a kan Android, Blackberry, da iOS ma ba su tsira ba. Menene game da shi? Wannan babbar manhaja ko “rootkit” wacce wani bangare ne na firmware na wayar, yana tattara bayanai kan yadda ake amfani da wayar kuma yana iya shigar da duk wani dannawa.

Duk wannan al'amari ya fara ne da gano wani mai bincike Trevor Eckhart, wanda ya nuna ayyukan ɗan leƙen asiri a cikin bidiyon YouTube. Kamfanin mai suna daya ne ke bayan samar da wannan manhaja, kuma kwastomominsa masu amfani da wayar salula ne. Mai ɗaukar IQ na iya yin rikodin kusan duk abin da kuke yi akan wayarka. Ingancin kira, lambobin da aka buga, ƙarfin sigina ko wurinka. Waɗannan kayan aikin galibi masu aiki ne ke amfani da su don haɓaka ayyukansu, amma lissafin ya wuce abin da masu sarrafa bayanan ke buƙata don gamsuwar abokin ciniki.

Shirin kuma zai iya yin rikodin lambobin da aka buga, lambobin da ka shigar da ba ka buga ba, kowace wasiƙa da aka rubuta a cikin imel ko adireshin da ka shigar a cikin wayar hannu. Sauti kamar Big Brother a gare ku? A cewar gidan yanar gizon masana'anta, ana samun shirin a cikin na'urorin wayar hannu sama da miliyan 140 a duniya. Za ku same ta a wayoyin Android (sai dai Google's Nexus series phones), RIM's Blackberry, da iOS.

Koyaya, Apple ya nisanta kansa daga CIQ kuma ya cire shi daga kusan dukkanin na'urori a cikin iOS 5. Sai dai kawai iPhone 4, inda za a iya kashe tarin bayanai a cikin aikace-aikacen Saituna. Bayan kasancewar Carrier IQ a cikin wayoyi ya zama sananne, duk masana'antun suna ƙoƙarin cire hannayensu daga shi. Misali, HTC ya yi iƙirarin cewa masu ɗaukar hoto na Amurka ne ke buƙatar kasancewar wannan software. Su kuma, suna kare kansu da cewa suna amfani da bayanan ne kawai don inganta ayyukansu, ba don tattara bayanan sirri ba. Ma'aikacin Amurka Verizon baya amfani da CIQ kwata-kwata.


Kamfanin da ke tsakiyar lamarin, Carrier IQ, shi ma ya yi tsokaci kan lamarin, yana mai cewa: "Muna aunawa da taƙaita halayen na'ura don taimakawa masu aiki su inganta ayyukansu."Kamfanin ya musanta cewa Software yana yin rikodin, adanawa ko aika abun ciki na saƙonnin SMS, imel, hotuna ko bidiyo. Koyaya, yawancin tambayoyin da ba a amsa ba har yanzu suna nan, kamar me yasa aka yi rikodin maɓallin kama-da-wane da na zahiri da maɓallan maɓalli.

Hukumomin Jamus ma sun yi aiki kuma, kamar ofishin majalisar dattijan Amurka, suna neman cikakkun bayanai daga kamfanin Carrier IQ.

A gefen wadanda ake tuhuma akwai kamfanonin sadarwa na gida T-Mobile, AT&T da Sprint, da kuma kamfanonin kera na'urorin hannu Apple, HTC, Motorola da Samsung.

Idan kana da iOS 5 da aka sanya a wayarka, kada ka damu, CIQ ba ta shafe ka ba, kawai masu iPhone 4 suna buƙatar kashe shi da hannu.
