The use of "husband monitoring" applications increased by 93% during "Corona"

New data published by the British newspaper, The Independent, showed that the use of applications that allow people to monitor and spy on their husbands and wives increased by 93 per cent during the outbreak of the new Corona virus.

The company "Avast", which developed anti-virus and malware protection programs, said that the cases of spying on spouses using these applications rose from 390 cases in January and February of last year, to 755 cases during the same period this year.

The company indicated that these applications can be downloaded easily without the victim's knowledge.

Through it, a person can find out the location of the victim's presence, view photos, videos, and e-mail messages on his phone, and open his own Facebook and WhatsApp messages.

The app can also allow perpetrators to eavesdrop on phone calls and covertly record conversations.

Experts attribute the large increase in the number of individuals who use these applications to the increase in domestic violence in light of the measures to close Corona.

Avast's chief information security officer, Jaya Palu, said companies producing spyware and apps were ultimately facilitating domestic violence.

She added, “These companies advertise their programs and applications in a terrifying manner, as they say in their advertisements that these programs were developed in order to monitor children, employees and life partners.

Whenever I watch these ads, I feel very shocked.
