Last fetched
Support King is a threat actor tracked in WhisperGraph's MITRE ATT&CK corpus, observed using 0 techniques.
Description
Support King, founded by Scott Zuckerman and headquartered in Puerto Rico, built a small but notorious catalog of stalkerware apps that secretly harvested victims’ photos, messages and location data. These products include SpyFone, the Android/iOS spy tool marketed directly by Support King until a 2021 FTC order forced it offline after a massive data breach, OneClickMonitor, and SpyTrac, a phone-monitoring app that surfaced in 2022. SpyTrac's leaked server data tied its freelance developers and infrastructure back to Support King, suggesting the company was trying to evade the FTC ban. The 2021 FTC decision permanently barred Support King and Zuckerman from "offering, selling or promoting" any surveillance software because they repeatedly failed to secure user data. Zuckerman is now petitioning the agency to lift that ban so he can re-enter the surveillance market.
