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.
LetMeSpy comes with a wide range of features to collect call logs, SMS messages, and geolocations, all of which can be accessed from the website.
A further review of the leaked information by TechCrunch has revealed that the data goes all the way back to 2013, when LetMeSpy became operational.
