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 <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AWS</a>. <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/13/amazon-is-still-hosting-stalkerware-victims-data-weeks-after-breach-alert/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/13/amazon-is-still-hosting-stalkerware-victims-data-weeks-after-breach-alert/</a>

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."<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/stalkerware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stalkerware</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#android</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Cocospy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cocospy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Spyic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spyic</a>

BGDoncasterSecurity 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. <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/20/stalkerware-apps-cocospy-spyic-exposing-phone-data-of-millions-of-people/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/20/stalkerware-apps-cocospy-spyic-exposing-phone-data-of-millions-of-people/</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#security</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/spyware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spyware</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cybersecurity</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/systemservice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#systemservice</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/mobilephone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mobilephone</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#china</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/stalkerware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stalkerware</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Cocospy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cocospy</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Spyic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spyic</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a>
