Hi everyone, I am Artemis, one of the co-founders of Malloc. Thanks to @mwseibel for hunting us! Together with @mariankh and @liza_charalambous we created Antistalker. We are three PhD holders with passion for machine learning, cybersecurity and turning scientific discoveries into viable products. We met in academia and joined forces to solve the problem of unauthorized transmission of data from smart devices. The value of data has increased exponentially over the last years. An ever-growing number of data breach incidents on smart devices have been reported violating users' privacy and causing billions in damages through the exposure of confidential information. Factors contributing to this range from the distribution of malicious software to the unjustified collection of data by companies and their use for marketing and profit-making purposes. We created a mobile app to make privacy protection and data security accessible, automated and effective. Antistalker notifies you when apps use the camera or microphone of your device. It goes beyond the privacy dots! It tells you for how long are used and how much data your apps send to the internet. You can also try the pro protective features! Would love to hear your opinion on privacy violations and your feedback on the app! It is free and we look to build it together to help you regain your privacy.

Great product! Congrats on the launch!

Good luck with the launch!

Congrats on the launch @artemis_kontou @ @liza_charalambous! Android's always been much better about allowing third party apps to solve important problems like this. Do you think iOS will ever open up developer access so that you could bring Antistalker/other Malloc apps there, or will they just always try to solve these issues themselves in a heavy-handed way (even in light of the recent huge negative backlash over the photo scanning debacle)?
