"Spyware Maker LetMeSpy Shuts Down After Hacker Deletes Server Data"

The Poland-based spyware called LetMeSpy is no longer operational. It has announced that it will cease operations after a data breach in June wiped out its servers, including a massive cache of data taken from thousands of victims' phones. In a statement posted on its website in both English and Polish, LetMeSpy announced the spyware service's "permanent shutdown" and stated that it would end operations by the end of August. According to the notice, LetMeSpy is preventing users from logging in or creating new accounts. A separate notice on the LetMeSpy login page confirmed earlier allegations that the hacker who compromised the spyware operation also deleted the data from its servers. TechCrunch's network traffic analysis reveals that the LetMeSpy app no longer functions, and the spyware developer's website no longer offers the app for download. LetMeSpy was an Android phone monitoring app designed to remain hidden on the victim's home screen, making it difficult to detect and remove. Apps such as LetMeSpy continuously steal a target's text messages, call logs, and real-time location data after being installed on their phone, typically by someone with access to their passcode. This article continues to discuss the shutdown of the spyware maker LetMeSpy.
