Another Spyware maker shut down, data deleted from servers, servers wiped

Hello folks,

Just saw this on Mastodon this morning.

BrianKrebs: Boosting Zack Whittaker (zackwhittaker): New, by me: LetMeSpy, a spyware maker based in Poland, said it will shut down and cease operations after a hacker broke in and wiped out its servers.

Radeal CEO Rafal Lidwin, who develops the spyware, did not respond to a request for comment.

The link goes to Spyware maker LetMeSpy shuts down after hacker deletes server data which was a great read.

This is the second time I’m aware a spyware group that was shut down because of a hack, but there are other linked articles that could be read at the end of this article.

As you know, LetMeSpy was an Android spyware that could pretty much do whatever it wanted. We may have covered this in an earlier podcast in passing about other groups like the NSO group who do the same thing.

This … must make my day.
