This report analyses research undertaken by SAPIO, on behalf of Kaspersky and several NGOs working in the area of domestic violence, to better understand the pervasiveness of
stalkerware and how its toxic impact can be mitigated safely and effectively.

The research aimed to measure how widespread the use of
stalkerware – or ‘spouseware’ as it is sometimes called – actually is, and to collect data to help domestic violence practitioners better understand the topic and enhance support for survivors.

The survey was conducted among 21,055 people from 21 countries (including Australia) who currently are in a relationship or have been in a relationship in the past.
At an overall level, results are accurate to ± 0.7% at 95% confidence limits, assuming a result of 50%.

The interviews were conducted online by Sapio Research in September 2021 using an email invitation and an online survey. (From the report). Record #7371
