We are providing our Antistalker Mobile Security for free to all existing and new paying users in Ukraine.

The Russian military invasion to the Ukraine was followed by the initiation of a cyber-war, with malware and spyware attacking Ukrainian government sites and devices.

In these challenging times, the least we can do is offer mobile security advice and services to the people who need them.

Access to real-time location and tracking of people through their mobile devices, in challenging times, is a risk for physical safety.

Now more than ever before, we urge people in Ukraine to re-evalaute the permissions on their mobile devices and protect themselves from tracking and spyware.

1.  Location Permission. Turn off your location services, deny apps from using your location for no significant reason. Not sharing your location can keep you safe during these challenging times.

2.  Bluetooth and Nearby Devices permissions. Access to bluetooth and to the Android 12 “Nearby Devices” permissions can be used to infer your location. Use the Permission Manager to check apps that hold those permissions, make sure that their need for having these permissions is justified.

3.  Detect spyware on your device. Use Antistalker to monitor when apps use your camera or microphone. Remove apps that use them without justified reasons.

4.  Block apps from sending data when you are not using them and to tracking domains. Use the data monitoring feature to track when applications send data, how much data they are sending and where. Antistalker will mark in which country the data are going and if data are sent to domains which are stalkerware, are used for tracking location, profiling, advertisements, analytics or other potentially malicious purposes.
