LetMeSpy app hacked, exposing thousands of users' data.

LetMeSpy, a phone monitoring app marketed for parental control or employee monitoring, has suffered a data breach, with a hacker stealing messages, call logs, and locations intercepted by the app. The app is designed to stay hidden on a phone's home screen, making it difficult to detect and remove. LetMeSpy silently uploads the phone's text messages, call logs, and precise location data to its servers, allowing the person who planted the app to track the person in real-time. The leaked data contained current records on at least 13,000 compromised devices, with most of the location data points centered over population hotspots in the United States, India, and Western Africa.
