Spying software maker mSpy sells their offerings as a service package and claims to enable its customers to spy on iPhones and Android phones. It is used by ~2 million people to spy on their children, partners, exes, etc. Retrieved data is stored on mSpy's servers. Brian Krebs reports that mSpy has been hacked and their entire database of spying data (with a size of several hundred gigabytes) has been posted on the Dark Web. The trove includes Apple IDs and passwords, and the complete contents of phones including photos and emails, etc.

    There is a TV show that runs in my area, centering on catching cheating spouses and filming the resultant fiasco when the other is caught in the act.

    They use a variety of gadgets to catch loose goose and philandering gander.

    In today's high tech world, I do not think anyone can keep a secret anymore. Not if anyone starts prying. The tools are out there.

    This is what is being sold to the general public. You can only imagine just how more difficult it would be to stop a determined technically trained person!
