Hackers shut down stalkerware companies that spy for spouses and parents, delete and dump their files

In the UK, this business model is illegal under the Misuse of Computers Act.

I guess it is a good thing that most of these companies (all?) aren’t based in the UK then…

I do know that most of these spy apps that people install on their spouses iPhone require the device to be Jailbroken (rooted). This means the phone has to be out of service for a short while and in the possession of the husband in order to JB it.

Are you implying that a husband can install your Android software without having the device in their physical possession?
