FTC Bans Stalkerware Company From Surveillance

A stalkerware company that allegedly harvested and shared user data illegally is banned from doing spyware business, said an FTC nonmonetary order Tuesday. Commissioners voted 4-0. CEO Scott Zuckerman and his company Support King, which did business as SpyFone.com, are banned from conducting “surveillance business.” They must delete ill-gotten data and notify owners of the devices on which the app was installed.
