Roid-based phone monitoring app LetMeSpy has disclosed a security breach that allowed an unauthorized third-party to steal sensitive data associated with thousands of Android users.
"As a result of the attack, the criminals gained access to email addresses, telephone numbers and the content of messages collected on accounts," LetMeSpy said in an announcement on its website, noting the incident took place on June 21, 2023.
Following the discovery of the hack, LetMeSpy said it notified law enforcement and data protection authorities.
The work of a Polish company named Radeal, LetMeSpy is offered as a monthly subscription, allowing its customers to snoop on others simply by installing the software on their devices.
