Mobile Spyware Maker mSpy Hacked, Customer Data Leaked

Summary: A trove of data apparently stolen from mSpy's servers was posted to a Tor-hidden site, holding several hundred gigabytes including some four million logged events, and the hackers claim it covers more than 400,000 users with Apple IDs, passwords, tracking data, and payment details on roughly 145,000 successful transactions. mSpy did not respond to multiple requests for comment over five days, and the cache reportedly includes photos, calendar data, corporate email threads, and thousands of support emails from customers who paid between $8.33 and $799.

Key Takeaway: The product is built to log every keystroke, location, and private message on a target's phone, so this breach turns the surveillance back on the customers: Apple IDs and passwords for more than 400,000 accounts are now in unknown hands, and mSpy has said nothing for five days.
