Ukraine’s MacPaw releases SpyBuster, designed to beat Russian hacks
MacPaw, the Ukraine-based developer of Setapp, has created a Mac app for users to learn whether their data is held on Russian servers — and can then be read by the country’s authorities.
Headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine, MacPaw has told users that its software – Setapp, CleanMyMac X, and more – will continue to work despite the invasion of the country by Russia. Now the company has also released one of its own internal security tools, developed during the invasion.SpyBuster is a free app that users can use to scan their Mac. It determines whether any apps are Russian or from Belarus, and also whether any data is sent to servers in those regions.
