The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says that a settlement has been reached with Retina-X Studios, LLC (Retina-X), the company behind three 'stalkerware' mobile applications, that bars it from selling the apps unless they are used for legitimate purposes.

Stalkerware apps are designed to allow third-parties to monitor one's mobile device without the user's knowledge and, in some cases, to collect sensitive user information like location and online activity that later could be used for blackmail and various other malicious purposes.
