Hacker defaces spyware maker pcTattletale and dumps its server data
A hacker defaced the website of consumer spyware app pcTattletale and posted archives of data from its servers, days after a researcher reported a flaw leaking device screenshots. TechCrunch later reported the breach exposed data on some 138,000 customers and that the owner deleted data instead of notifying victims.
