New, by me: Oospy, a phone stalkerware app that emerged after its predecessor Spyhide was hacked earlier this year, is no longer operational and has shut down.
The spyware operation's back-end server was taken offline Thursday by the web host Hetzner, which said Spyhide/Oospy violated its terms of service.
The shutdown of the spyware's back-end server marks the end of the spyware's ability to operate, for now.
