Kristin Nyunt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA<\/strong> \u2013 A 40-year-old woman admitted that she used spy software purchased on the Internet\u00a0\"Department<\/a>that allowed her to secretly record phone calls and intercept texts, voicemail, e-mail appointments, digital addresses, photographs, videos and conversations, including sensitive law enforcement communications.<\/p>\n

Kristin Nyunt, of Monterey, \u00a0plead guilty in federal court in San Jose on Monday to wiretapping charges, \u00a0federal officials said.<\/p>\n

Nyunt is the ex-wife of John Nyunt,<\/strong> \u00a0a former Pacific Grove police commander who also faced state and federal charges.<\/p>\n

The San Jose Mercury News<\/a> reported that the two cases were intertwined. In April, John Nyunt plead guilty to threatening a witness, one count of being an accessory after the fact to theft and burglary, and one count of being an accomplice to the burglary of a business, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

In May, he admitted to federal extortion and fraud charges. He is serving two years in federal prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to the FBI, \u00a0 the newspaper stated that John Nyunt declined to investigate a crime victim’s complaint and instead had the woman pay $10,000 to a bogus investigations company run by the couple. While investigating Kristin Nyunt’s case, prosecutors found a recording in which her husband threatened to kill her and any police officers who tried to arrest him.<\/p>\n

In pleading guilty, Kristin Nyunt admitted that from 2010 to 2012 she possessed spy software, including Mobistealth<\/strong>, StealthGenie<\/strong>, and mSpy,<\/strong> to surreptitious interception of wire, oral, and electronic communications.<\/p>\n

She purchased and downloaded this software on-line, via the Internet, and installed the software on cell phones and computers that she intended to intercept.<\/p>\n

The communications she intercepted included private e-mail communication and texts between individuals who were unaware that she was monitoring them. In one instance, she was paid money by the husband of a victim to spy on her and intercept her private communications using this software, officials said.<\/p>\n

She\u00a0also\u00a0intercepted included sensitive law enforcement communication. She did this by secretly installing spyware on the cell phone of a police officer without his consent or knowledge, officials said.<\/p>\n

Previously, on Sept. 29, 2014, \u00a0Hammad Akba<\/strong>r, 31, of Lahore, Pakistan, the chief executive officer of InvoCode Pvt Ltd, the company that advertises and sells StealthGenie online, was named in a federal indictment.<\/p>\n

Akbar and his co-conspirators allegedly created the spyware, which could intercept communications from mobile phones, including Apple\u2019s iPhone, Google\u2019s Android, and Blackberry Limited\u2019s Blackberry.<\/p>\n

Kristin Nyunt pleaded guilty in state court earlier this year to burglary, forgery, identity theft, and unlawful computer access charges. She plead guilty Monday to one count of interception of communications and one count of possession of interception devices.<\/p>\n

She faces up to five years in prison for each count. Nyunt will be sentenced in February.<\/p>\n

The investigation of Nyunt by the FBI and investigators from the Monterey County District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

How To Remove a Mobile Device Spyware<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you believe your phone may contain a mobile device spyware app, the best option is to conduct a \u201cfactory reset\u201d of the phone. When a reset takes place, the phone is restored to its original condition, according to the FBI<\/a><\/p>\n

Please be advised that this means any and all data and apps installed after purchase will be removed from the phone, including all stored information, so back-up data, the FBI stated.<\/p>\n
