This is a significant breach of security!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are You an mSpy Customer? Read to the End for Important Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The repeated breaches should not surprise those familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.flexispy.com\/safest-parental-control-app\/\">the saga<\/a> of lower-end-of-the-market spy apps being hacked due to inadequate security measures. After all, mSpy allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/2018\/09\/for-2nd-time-in-3-years-mobile-spyware-maker-mspy-leaks-millions-of-sensitive-records\/\">ignored warnings<\/a> from a security researcher before their second hack in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>What we find interesting about this hack is the <a href=\"https:\/\/maia.crimew.gay\/posts\/fuckstalkerware-7\/\">analysis<\/a> by the researcher contacted by the anonymous hacker who broke the story. In it, the researcher reveals mspy&#8217;s alleged shady business practices. The researcher criticizes mSpy\u2019s support for &#8220;horrible communication&#8221; and describes the company as operating a predatory subscription scheme, and luring customers with free trials that auto-renew into costly monthly or yearly subscriptions!<\/p>\n<p>According to the analysis, canceling the service requires contacting support, making it difficult for users to avoid overrunning the trial. Furthermore, securing a refund can be challenging, with reports of mSpy ignoring support requests altogether.<\/p>\n<h2>mSpy Customer?
