What happened

In August 2018, the spyware company SpyFone left terabytes of data publicly exposed. Collected surreptitiously whilst the targets were using their devices, the data included photos, audio recordings, text messages and browsing history which were then exposed via a number of misconfigurations within SpyFone's systems. The data belonged the thousands of SpyFone customers and included 44k unique email addresses, many likely belonging to people the targeted phones had contact with.

What data was exposed

• Audio recordings
• Browsing histories
• Device information
• Email addresses
• Geographic locations
• IMEI numbers
• IP addresses
• Names
• Passwords
• Photos
• SMS messages

What to do right now

1. Change your password for this service now. And change it anywhere you reused the same password — attackers try leaked passwords on other sites within hours ("credential stuffing").
2. Turn on two-factor authentication. Even a leaked password is useless against an account protected by a second factor. Prefer an authenticator app over SMS.
3. Expect convincing phishing emails. Attackers use breached details to write personalized emails. Be suspicious of any message referencing this service.
4. Check your other accounts on Have I Been Pwned. Your email address may appear in other breaches you don't know about yet.
5. Monitor the apps you use going forward. Clearly watches the breach record for the companies behind your apps and alerts you the moment one appears.
