- Three software applications have disappeared, journalists have found
- The three were dripping confidential data
- It is not uncommon for spouse sofa applications to disappear and mark again after a safety accident
Three spouse sofa applications: Cocospy, Spyic and Spyzie, have obscured. Applications, which are basically clones with each other, do not work anymore. Its websites have gone, and their cloud storage, housed on Amazon, is eliminated.
The news was broken by Techcrunch Earlier this week, who said that the reason behind the disappearance is not blatantly obvious, but could be linked to data violations that occurred earlier this year.
“It is known that consumer degree telephone surveillance operations are closed (or change completely) after a hack or data violation, usually in an effort to escape the legal and reputational consequences,” the publication wrote.
The gray area
“Letmespy, a Spyware developed in Poland, confirmed its” permanent closure “in August 2023 after a data violation eliminated the developer servers. The Spyware manufacturer based in the United States, Pctattletale, left the business and closed in May 2024 after a hack and a defance of the website.”
The spouse software, or Spyware, is a type of application that works in the gray area. It is announced as legitimate software, used to monitor minors, people with special and similar needs. However, most of the time it is just a roof for illegal activities, such as spying on other household members, love and similar interests.
Given its nature, the development team and the key people are generally hidden, which makes it difficult for media members to receive a comment or a statement.
At the end of February of this year, two of the applications, Cocospy and Spyic were found, exposing confidential user data: email addresses, text messages, call records, photographs and other confidential information. In addition, researchers could be extinguished to 1.81 million email addresses used to register with Cocospy, and approximately 880,000 addresses used for Spyic. In addition to the email addresses, the researcher managed to access the majority of the data harvested by the applications, including images, messages and call records.
Just a week later, similar news was learned for Spyzie. The application was found that filtered email addresses, text messages, calls of calls, photographs and other confidential data, belonging to millions of people who, without their knowledge or consent, have installed these applications on their devices. People who installed these applications, in most cases, parents, parents, other important people, have also exposed their email addresses in the same way.
