Stalkerware slinger LetMeSpy shuts down for good after database robbery

Stalkerware slinger LetMeSpy will shut down for good this month after a miscreant breached its servers and stole a heap of data in June.on its homepage, the Polish Android developer"would like kindly inform you that as of August 31, 2023, the letmespy.com website will cease operations."on June 21 by persons unknown, who downloaded the entire contents of its website database before deleting that information.

You may not feel that much sympathy for the users of this software – the people who download and install LetMeSpy on the phones of partners, children, or coworkers – in that their details were swiped by the intruder. Unfortunately that website database included records on those being snooped on, too, such as their messages, whereabouts, and call logs.

The app was marketed as being for completely legit purposes, such as child or employee monitoring, or for forgetful folks who want to easily locate their misplaced devices. Yes, those are real examples still listed on the developer's website as to why people should use LetMeSpy. In reality, the app could be installed on an Android device, and depending on the OS version, hidden from view. It would then copy that device's text messages, call logs, location, and other info to the LetMeSpy website, allowing the user of the software to keep close tabs on that device. That would make it perfect for stalkers and abusive bosses and partners.
