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.

    I had a keylogger on my machine for the same purpose: lost code and emails. It was also great for these buggy websites that, when you post a comment and there's an error, the whole comment is lost.

    I kept it also to have fun with people that wanted to log in to their social accounts from my machine. It proved useless when they just left the acounts logged in...
