    Serves them right for using spyware.

    Edit. It has correctly been brought to my attention that the targets also had their credentials leaked. They didn’t deserve that. That said, fuck the people who were installing spyware in other people’s devices.

        This is true, I have no sympathy for the ones who put spare on another’s device, but the targets did not deserve that.
