The makers of two phone surveillance services appear to have shuttered after the owner agreed to settle state accusations of illegally promoting spyware that his companies developed.
These apps are designed to stay hidden from home screens, making them difficult to find and remove, all the while continuously uploading the phone's messages, photos and real-time location data to a dashboard viewable by the abuser.
New York attorney general Letitia James said at the time that Hinchy's companies used blog posts that explicitly encouraged prospective customers to use the spyware to monitor their spouses' devices without their knowledge.
