A vulnerability in Catwatchful, an Android spyware posing as parental control software, exposed the credentials of over 62,000 customer accounts, security researcher Eric Daigle says.
The alleged monitoring application allows users to view content from a victim’s device in real time, tap into the microphone and cameras, and access photos, videos, chat logs, and location.
Catwatchful essentially functions as a powerful spyware, or stalkware, as it runs in the background for real-time monitoring and hides its presence to prevent being uninstalled by the victim.
In fact, while marketing Catwatchful as a parental control application for Android, its developers make it clear that the application is undetectable.
