Welcome news - Finally one company (Kaspersky) has decided to flag stalkerware as malware. Thanks to Eva Galperin, the head of cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation for persuading them. Motherboard. Galperin has studied stalkerware and helped domestic abuse victims and human rights activists for years.

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.
