But their actions didn’t stop there. In an intriguing twist, the hackers generated an entirely new database, which they shared with DDoSecrets. This new repository contained a trove of information about the individuals who had enlisted the services of WebDetective. Included in this cache were customer IP addresses, purchase histories, details about the devices each customer had infected, the specific spyware version installed, and the nature of the pilfered data.
WebDetective, like many spyware or stalkerware apps, is not readily available on official app stores such as the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Instead, these surreptitious tools find their way onto devices via third-party stores and various corners of the internet. Once installed, these apps operate in stealth mode, permitting their buyers to surreptitiously gather a wealth of information, including call logs, text messages, photos, videos, GPS data, and more from unsuspecting victims.
