  1. #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.

  2. Nicht nur rechtswidrig, sondern extrem fahrlässig: Jüngst wurde bekannt, dass die beiden Spy Apps "#Cocospy" und "#Spyic" massive #Sicherheitslücken aufweisen, die den Missbrauch sensibler Daten ermöglichen - DsiN hat einen Artikel veröffentlicht, wie man #Spyware auf seinem Smartphone erkennen kann:
    "The researcher collected 1.81 million email addresses of Cocospy customers and 880,167 email addresses of Spyic customers" #cybersecurity

    "With Cocospy and Spyic, you can usually enter ✱✱001✱✱ on your Android phone app’s keypad and then press the “call” button to make the stalkerware apps appear on-screen — if they are installed. This is a feature built into Cocospy and Spyic to allow the person who planted the app on the victim’s device to regain access. In this case, the feature can also be used by the victim to determine if the app is installed."

  4. Security researcher details 2 bugs in “popular” spyware/stalkerware apps Cocospy and Spyic. 1) Exposes the personal data of millions of people who have the apps unwittingly installed on their devices. Data includes messages, photos, and call logs. 2) Exposes the email addresses of the people who signed up with the intention of planting the app on someone’s device to covertly monitor them.

    Researchers collected > 2M million email addresses of the spyware’s customers. These mobile stalkerware apps share the same source code and are apparently linked to Chinese software developers.
