Flash Keylogger is part of a rapidly expanding group of apps known as “stalkerware.” While these apps numbered in the hundreds a few years ago, they have since grown into the thousands. There are legitimate uses for surveillance apps, like parental control software that monitors children online to protect them from predators. Because mobile devices have access to more intimate data, including photos, real-time location, phone conversations and messages, the apps became known as stalkerware. Various stalkerware apps collect different types of information. Google removed the apps and updated its policy in October to forbid developers to offer stalkerware.
