#Stalkerware

2025-06-08

I will be doing some googling and homework of my own, but does anyone here know if something that shows up as "org.openoffice.script" on iOS is malware?

A friend got a warning from iOS about this script in her screentime app, and she's got a fucked up situation with an ex. The combination is worrying her.

@arcturus calling "#Telegram" an "#Encrypted #Messaging Service" is as much of corporate propaganda lie as calling "#MicrosoftRecall" a productivity tool, not a #Govware and #Stalkerware!

@dalfen @europarl_en basically, #Microsoft refuses to comply with #GDPR by shoving their #Stalkerware (#Recall) into #Windows11 and Microsoft under #CloudAct decided to cancel key #ICC staff's accounts for no valid reason than #Trump doesn't like the fact that they investigate #WarCrimes that happened in #Gaza.

Cocospy, Spyic, & Spyzie, stalkerware apps that spied on millions, have gone offline after a data breach. 😬 These apps allowed access to messages, photos, & location data without consent. If you think your phone is compromised, dial ✱✱001✱✱ to check. #stalkerware #privacybreach 📱🔒➡️ techcrunch.com/2025/05/19/coco #oldnewz

Following Data #Breach, Multiple #Stalkerware #Apps Go Offline. The same easily exploitable #vulnerability was found in three of the apps that led to the compromise of victims' data.

En trio af relaterede #stalkerware -apps, Cocospy, Spyic og Spyzie, ser ud til at være gået offline

Selvom de 3 apps havde forskellig branding, var de meget ens og delte en fejl

Det gjorde det muligt for en forsker at skrabe 3,2 millioner brugeres e-mailadresser

Efter at have rapporteret om bruddet, er stalkerware-apps siden holdt op med at fungere, deres hjemmesider er forsvundet, og deres Amazon-hostede cloud storage er blevet slettet

"A consumer-grade spyware operation called SpyX was hit by a data breach last year, TechCrunch has learned. The breach reveals that SpyX and two other related mobile apps had records on almost two million people at the time of the breach, including thousands of Apple users.

The data breach dates back to June 2024 but has not been previously reported, and there is no indication that SpyX’s operators ever notified its customers or those targeted by the spyware.

The SpyX family of mobile spyware is now, by our count, the 25th mobile surveillance operation since 2017 known to have experienced a data breach, or otherwise spilled or exposed their victims’ or users’ data, showing that the consumer-grade spyware industry continues to proliferate and put people’s private data at risk.

The breach also provides a rare look at how stalkerware like SpyX can also target Apple customers.

Troy Hunt, who runs data breach notification site Have I Been Pwned, received a copy of the breached data in the form of two text files, which contained 1.97 million unique account records with associated email addresses."

#Amazon is still hosting #stalkerware victims' data weeks after breach alert
#Cocospy, #Spyic, and #Spyzie, have collectively compromised over 3.1 million Android phones, which we know because apps each had a #databreach in Feb.
As part of our investigation into stalkerware operations, which included analyzing the apps themselves, TechCrunch found that some of the contents of a device compromised by the stalkerware apps are being uploaded to storage servers run by #AWS.

Imagine someone having access to every message you send, every photo you take, and knowing exactly where you are at all times. This isn't science fiction - it's happening right now to thousands of people
