>Steve McBroom, a Spyfone representative, told Motherboard on Monday that the company is investigating the leak, and expressed relief that the person who found it had good intentions.
Unlike spyfone whose intentions appeared to be profiting off of violating the privacy of others. I wonder if they have done the market research to determine if their core demo is domestic abusers.
- 8_hours_ago 8y agoSpyFone can only be used with consent of the device owner. From the Terms of Use (https://spyfone.com/terms-of-use/ https://spyfone.com/terms-of-use/): "You will only install the SpyFone software on devices for which you are the owner, or on devices for which you have received consent from the owner of the device." Their service cannot be used by domestic abusers, obviously. (sarcasm)

- bigiain 8y agoI'm not sure - given their recent location-privacy related coverage - that Google should be held up as "gold standard" here...

- mirimir 8y agoIndeed. Also, Spyfone has no clue whether others accessed the data previously. For all we know, there's some .onion site selling access to pedophiles.
