The breach revealed that the spyware is developed and maintained by a Polish developer named Rafal Lidwin. The leaked data, obtained by a hacker, includes messages, call logs, and locations intercepted by the app, affecting at least 13,000 compromised devices. LetMeSpy is known for being used as stalkerware or spouseware, often planted without the user’s consent, and this breach raises concerns about the security and privacy risks associated with such spyware applications.
Two major airlines, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, have disclosed data breaches caused by the hack of a third-party vendor, Pilot Credentials, which manages multiple airlines’ pilot applications and recruitment portals. The breach affected 5,745 pilots and applicants for American Airlines and 3,009 for Southwest. The unauthorized individual gained access to Pilot Credentials’ systems, compromising personal information such as names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and more. Both airlines have ceased using the vendor and are directing applicants to self-managed internal portals.
