In MobileHCI '08: Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Human computer interaction with mobile devices and services. Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 02 - 05, 2008. ACM, New York, NY, 491-492. DOI= http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1409240.1409324, ISBN 978-1-59593-952-4. (bib)

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 everyones 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.
