Cellphones spying Detected in Ottawa

Some cellphones have been spied on in ottawa. CBC was the one who found out about this spying activity and then the agencies continued the investigation. Nothing and nobody is safe anymore. Why didn't the agencies react sooner? They only reacted after CBC broke the new of this spying activity

I am really worried about this cellphone spying tools.

cellphones are being spied on alot these days. A week back journalists were being spied on to track their sources. Even the police are using it on the public
