Stalkerware Apps Riddled with Security Bugs

ESET researchers found more than 150 security issues in 58 Android stalkerware apps. Stalkerware can track the GPS location of a victim s device, record conversations, capture images and snoop on browser histories. The apps store and transmit more information than any other app their victims have installed, according to ESET. The most common issue that researchers identified was insecure transmission of victim and stalker personally identifiable info (PII), found in 22 of the analyzed apps. ESET reported the issues to the affected vendors, but only six decided to address the flaws.
