RUSSIAN SECURITY OUTFIT Kaspersky Lab has discovered that more than 58,000 Android-using folks had so-called ‘stalkerware’ lurking on their devices in 2018, with 35,000 unaware they were being stalked. Stalkerware is software that can track a person’s gadget and by extension them, as well as snoop on their texts and get live feeds from cameras. It’s legal but is pretty damn unethical; nevertheless, it seems to get used a heck of a lot. Kaspersky championed that its security software will work to detect and block stalkerware, something some security firms won’t do due it not being illegal and a money-spinner for developers.
