Amazon is still hosting stalkerware victims’ data weeks after breach alert - TechCrunch

Quick Summary:

The Spyzie app was similarly uploading victims’ device data to its own namesake storage bucket on Amazon’s cloud, which we alerted Amazon to on March 10.

We confirmed this further by logging into the Cocospy and Spyic user dashboards, which allow the people who plant the stalkerware apps to view the target’s stolen data.

Following later news of Spyzie’s data breach, TechCrunch also analyzed Spyzie’s Android app using a network analysis tool and found the traffic data to be identical as Cocospy and Spyic.
