I don't know the legal footing these spyware apps stand on, but this blog post seems like exhibit A if Catwatchful ever decided to sue the author, or press criminal charges. Hacking, even for reasons that seem morally justified, is still illegal.

Yeah this whole exercise was completely illegal and I'm surprised this person publicly (and proudly) blogged about it like this.

They probably need to engage an attorney now.

Your theory is that Daigle is at risk of a Canadian prosecutor hauling him into court based on the criminal complaint of a Uruguayan purveyor of stalkerware? That's novel.

I think the theory is that Daigle has publicly professed to committing a crime sharing all their steps and receipts. It'll be unheard of of course if a Uruguayan purveyor of stalkerware take him to court.

However, next time he talks about emulating Nintendo games or whatever, I'm sure Nintendo lawyers would love to bring it up and point "how the defendant brazenly defies law and order with predetermination malice".

Not to begin to even mention now some shady criminal might hold a grudge against Daigle. I hope his security is air tight.

There is a reason these reports are usually anonymous or follow responsible disclosure.

Rest easy, Daigle is legally immune from concern trolling.
