Over 58,000 Android users had “stalkerware” installed on their phones last year, researchers from Kaspersky Lab have revealed today. Of these, more than 35,000 had no idea about stalkerware being present on their Android devices until they installed Kasperksy’s mobile antivirus, which flagged the infection.
Kaspersky’s findings come to confirm a growing trend in the information security industry, where security researchers are seeing an increase in the use of stalkerware-like products, from both normal users and companies alike.
