In a report about the spyware industry by Webroot, spyware apps brought in a revenue of $2 billion in 2005. Since then, the industry has shown no signs of slowing down. With smartphones becoming a necessity in today’s world, there has been no shortage of companies advertising spyware to spouses, parents, and businesses in the guise of monitoring software. The reality is, this software often ends up in the hands of cybercriminals or abusive partners. It ends up inflicting harm instead of helping keep your loved ones safe.
