[quote=Anonymous]In various relationship forums, I've seen recommendations for spouses who suspect infidelity to install keyloggers, plant voice activated recorders, and generally implement other types of surveillance measures. I had not really considered it, but these things also enable domestic abuse. Wired has an article talking about Eva Galperin's efforts to take a bite out of the industry to protect women from domestic abuse:

[quote]"In a talk she is scheduled to give next week at the Kaspersky Security Analyst Summit in Singapore, Galperin will lay out a list of demands: First, she's calling on the antivirus industry to finally take the threat of stalkerware seriously, after years of negligence and inaction. She'll also ask Apple to take measures to protect iPhone users from stalkerware, given that the company doesn't allow antivirus apps into its App Store. Finally, and perhaps most drastically, she says she'll call on state and federal officials to use their prosecutorial powers to indict executives of stalkerware-selling companies on hacking charges. "It would be nice to see some of these companies shut down," she says. "It would be nice to see some people go to jail.""[/quote]

She has already convinced Kapersky to have its antivirus software flag stalkerware with a privacy alert and offer options to delete or quarantine them.
