Anti-Spying App ‘SpyBuster’ for iOS Now Available to Download

The folks over at MacPaw have just released the much-anticipated iOS version of their anti-spying tool SpyBuster, which is now available to download from the App Store.

SpyBuster premiered as a macOS tool in March when Russian forces hacked state digital systems and began spreading disinformation following their invasion of Ukraine.

Designed to spot apps that originate from or connect to servers in Russia or Belarus, SpyBuster helps identify and remove unwanted connections on your devices.
