One more thing for innocent consumers to worry about – cellphone snoopware.

Welcome to the brave new world of smartphone spying, where dark-souled hackers with bad intentions use readily available technology to track every move you make with your cell phone, Bluetooth or personal digital assistant.

“You’re going to see a dramatic proliferation of threats,” said John Vigna, CEO at SMobile, a Columbus, Ohio-based mobile security provider. “More and more devices are synchronizing, more and more people are loading data and corporate information, and malware attacks are going to go through the roof.”

From identity thieves to corporate raiders to jealous boyfriends, the world of smartphone spying is open to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of digital technology and the hundred bucks or so it takes to buy eavesdropping software on the Internet.

Worry-free enjoyment of your most used gadgets is a thing of the past. Maybe it’s time to return to "stupid" phones?
