Stalkerware is a type of surveillance software that lets someone secretly monitor another person’s smartphone or computer activity without their knowledge. It is most often used in cases of intimate partner surveillance, harassment, or abuse.
Unlike other types of malicious software, stalkerware is highly personal. In nearly every case, this highly privacy-invasive app is installed by someone the victim knows, who then exploits its capabilities to cyberstalk and harass, or worse.
