Abstract

The goal of Spybuster is to provide a powerful and easy accessible community platform, which helps the members to cope with the increasing number of threats for everyone's privacy in everyday life. Spybuster uses a geotagging system to associate privacy threats with their locations. Users can add supplemental information such as a description of the threat and the exact address. The resultant tags can either be accessed over a mobile application with an interactive radar or a website using a Google Maps-mashup for displaying tags in a certain area. Due to a shared database users can organize their tags on both platforms.
