Stalkerware slinger LetMeSpy will shut down for good this month after a miscreant breached its servers and stole a heap of data in June.

According to the surveillance-ware maker, its security was comprehensively smashed on June 21 by persons unknown, who downloaded the entire contents of its website database before deleting that information.

Yes, those are real examples still listed on the developer's website as to why people should use LetMeSpy.

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.

Then someone pwned LetMeSpy, grabbed all that data, and passed it around, shedding lots of light on the software and its maker.

"After the expiration of retention period under the applicable law, the data stored in user accounts will be deleted."
