New, by me: LetMeSpy, a spyware maker based in Poland, said it will shut down and cease operations after a hacker broke in and wiped out its servers.

Radeal CEO Rafal Lidwin, who develops the spyware, did not respond to a request for comment.

@zackwhittaker Ah, the sweet smell of karma.
@zackwhittaker more of this type of hacking please
@zackwhittaker sounds like the work of @maia, who has been on a much-needed crusade against spyware recently.
@TerrorBite @zackwhittaker the letmespy hack i only reported on but wasn't involved in

Imagine being on the black hat side of the cybersecurity sector and getting just

Presumably he won’t open any email in case it is another phishing attack πŸ˜‚
