The expert named the most dangerous methods of spying on lovers
Spyware (stalkerware) is the most dangerous method of violating privacy, says the director of the Secure-T platform (Solar Group) Khariton Nikishkin.
"It creates a double threat. In addition to the obvious harm to the victim, it also puts the initiator of the surveillance at risk. All the information collected — messages, photos, and movement history — passes through the servers of the developers of such programs, which often turn out to be vulnerable and hacked. Thus, the personal data of all parties involved is compromised," the expert emphasizes.
Another related risk is that installing stalkerware often requires disabling the phone's basic security mechanisms (for example, prohibiting installation from unknown sources), which opens the device to other cyber threats, making it defenseless, Nikishkin points out.
