pcTattletale spyware infiltrated Wyndham hotels, capturing sensitive guest and customer details through a security bug, making the screenshots available online. The app, which can run undetected on Android and Windows devices, allows remote viewing and screenshot downloading. Despite attempts to contact the company, no response was received. Users should run antivirus scans to protect against such stalkerware.
Based on the meeting notes, it is clear that a spyware app named pcTattletale has been found tapping into the systems of several Wyndham hotels in the US. The app has been described as “simple stalkerware” and was discovered by Eric Daigle while investigating consumer-grade spyware. It is reported that the spyware was able to capture screenshots of the hotel booking systems containing guest and customer information, and due to a security bug, these screenshots are accessible on the Internet.
pcTattletale allows the user to remotely view a target’s Android or Windows device and its data from any location, with the capability to run invisibly in the background and take screenshots every few seconds. Additionally, if a user is aware of the remote-viewing bug, they can download the captured screenshots from the app’s servers.
Daigle attempted to contact pcTattletale regarding the bug but has not received a response. He recommends that potential victims of this stalkerware run antivirus scans such as Windows Defender for Windows or Malwarebytes for Android.
