While interested buyers were prompted to contact the group’s Telegram bot to discuss and arrange the data purchases.
Anonymous Sudan Announcement
In recent months, Anonymous Sudan has targeted Western entities with destructive DDoS attacks. Not only that even, the group recently acknowledged its association with Killnet, a pro-Russian hacktivist.
Microsoft recently acknowledged the role of Anonymous Sudan in service disruptions and outages affecting multiple services of it, including:-
Moreover, Microsoft confirmed with Cyber Security News that no signs of compromises were detected. They even reassured its clients that there was no reason to worry about this event.
Here’s what Microsoft stated:-
“At this time, our analysis of the data shows that this is not a legitimate claim and an aggregation of data. We have seen no evidence that our customer data has been accessed or compromised.”
Besides this, the status of Microsoft’s ongoing or concluded investigation remains unknown, and their response to potential data release remains uncertain.

Spyware Provider “LetMeSpy” Shuts Down After Hacker Deletes Server Data
On June 21, 2023, hackers broke into LetMeSpy’s servers and stole private data.
Following the hack, the attackers were able to obtain unauthorized access to email addresses, telephone numbers, and message content stored within the affected accounts. Our previous article provided coverage of this incident.
LetMeSpy is an Android phone monitoring app that is marketed for parental control or employee monitoring.
It has the feature of staying hidden on the phone, making it difficult to identify and remove.
Once installed on a smartphone, it discreetly uploads SMS messages, call logs, and location information to its servers, allowing the person who planted the app to track the person in real-time.
LetMeSpy Service Shutdown
In a notice on its website (www.letmespy[.]com), the company confirmed the “permanent shutdown” of the spyware service and that it would cease operations by the end of August.
The Polish firm said it had taken the necessary steps to block user account access as well as disable login and signup options.
Users who hold their data with LetMeSpy are advised to contact the company at ibd@radeal.pl.
A further review of the leaked information by TechCrunch has revealed that the data dates back to 2013, when LetMeSpy became operational.
LetMeSpy’s website claimed it had controlled more than 236,000 devices before the data breach.
Most of the victims are in the U.S., India, and parts of Africa.
