A recent incident has revealed the payment records of over 500,000 customers who purchased surveillance services from ‘stalkerware’ app providers. The leaked data includes email addresses and partial payment details of individuals who used phone-tracking apps like Geofinder and uMobix, as well as services like Peekviewer that grant access to private Instagram accounts. Notably, the exposed information also involves transaction records from Xnspy, a well-known phone surveillance app that faced a data breach in 2022.
These incidents highlight the ongoing security challenges within the surveillance technology sector, where numerous stalkerware providers have suffered breaches, leading to the exposure of both customer and victim data due to inadequate cybersecurity measures.
