A hacktivist scraped over 536,000 payment records from Struktura, a Ukrainian company operating stalkerware apps like uMobix, Geofinder, and Xnspy. The exposed data includes customer email addresses, payment card types, and last four digits of card numbers. The breach exploited a trivial website vulnerability, and the data was published on a hacking forum. This incident highlights ongoing security failures in the stalkerware industry, where surveillance vendors repeatedly expose both customer and victim data through poor cybersecurity practices.
