A New York man is accused of secretly installing spyware on his wife’s iPhone prior to initiating divorce proceedings. In a case being heard in Brooklyn, Justice Jeffrey Sunshine has mandated that the husband’s electronic devices be inspected for any evidence of unauthorized access to his wife’s private communications with her legal counsel.
The Case of James D. v. Emily T.
In the matter of James D. v. Emily T., a technician hired by the wife’s legal team uncovered three spyware applications on her phone:
- Pangu, which is designed to bypass the iPhone’s security measures through a process known as “jailbreaking.”
- mSpy, which grants access to emails, text messages, and call logs, in addition to tracking the phone’s location.
- IPVANISH, which secures the phone’s data and transmits it to an online account accessible to the husband.
The wife’s attorney, Mark Jensen, claims that James installed the spyware just three weeks before he filed for divorce. According to Jensen, the installation of the spyware package took only 14 minutes and began at 1:32 AM, a time when his client was likely asleep. When questioned during depositions about whether he had placed spyware on his wife’s device, James reportedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 58 times.
