Over 58,000 Android users had stalkerware installed on their phones last year

Posted on April 3, 2019 by pogowasright.org

Catalin Cimpanu reports:

Over 58,000 Android users had “stalkerware” installed on their phones last year, researchers from Kaspersky Lab have revealed today.

Of these, more than 35,000 had no idea about stalkerware being present on their Android devices until they installed Kasperksy’s mobile antivirus, which flagged the infection.

Read more on ZDNet. I realize Catalin’s reporting reads almost like a Kaspersky advertisement for its product, but do read the article because stalkerware is a real — and serious — issue.
