At Malloc, we work on monitoring and preventing anyone form recording or transmiting data without you knowing. Our debut app, Antistalker Mobile Security notifies you when apps use your camera or microphone, provides mic blocker and anti-theft alarm features and also alows youmonitors how much data apps send and also identifies where the data are going.
The latest version of Antistalker Mobile Security , allows you to see to which IP and domain the data are sent, and if that domain is identified as a data tracker, a stalkerware, or suspicious communication. Antistalker also classifies Data trackers into those used for Profiling, 🛍 Advertisement, 🗺 Location, 💥 Crash Reporting and 🆔 Identification, with more info on what these mean and how they are classified available at Malloc’s website.
