Phone Spyware AKA Stalkware

The technical magazine Motherboard
has been running a series of articles on mobile phone apps that spy on
the phone user. Just about everything the user does is collected on a
database and even the microphone can be turned on to record what the
user is saying and any other noises that might be made. Say no more.

Unfortunately these databases have been hacked and a lot of information
which should be private, like intimate images, can be seen and made use
of. Motherboard says that the following spyware databases have been
compromised: Retina-X (twice), FlexiSpy, Mobistealth, Spy Master Pro, SpyHuman, Spyfone, TheTruthSpy, Family Orbit, mSpy, Copy9, Xnore, and Codero.

If you have been spying on loved ones, enemies, bosses or employees
using the above software or should we call it creepy-ware, beware of
repercussions.

Don't try to connect to any of the spy sites directly, they actively spy on you too.
