Data breach exposes millions of mSpy spyware customers

Posted on July 12, 2024 by Dissent

Zack Whittaker reports:

Unknown attackers stole millions of customer support tickets, including personal information, emails to support, and attachments, including personal documents, from mSpy in May 2024.
