The Stalkerware Threat | AvastWhile spyware and infostealers seek to steal personal data, stalkerware is different: it steals the physical freedom of the victim. Usually installed secretly on mobile phones by ‘friends’, jealous spouses, ex-partners, and sometimes concerned parents, stalkerware tracks the physical location of the victim, monitoring sites visited on the internet, and text messages and phone calls to friends.
