from the spy-vs-spy dept.

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.

    If anybody wanted to get a copy of the dataset to check if their/thier loved ones data is included, the onion site is still up, but the dataset is not (publicly?) downloadable.

    I honestly haven't used Tor before. Downloading their browser to check it out. The article doesn't have the site listed though. Do you have to download the whole dataset to look at it?
