What’s Happening with the Spyzie Spyware?

It is alleged that the Spyzie spyware app data leak could have impacted more than 500K users of mobile devices. This blog will walk you through everything you need to know.

Introduction

In February 2025, the tech world has awakened into a new wave of spyware called Spyzie: according to SCWorld, more than 500,000 Android devices have been affected by the Spyzie spyware app data leak which has exposed data obtained through a data breach.

Is the Spyzie Spyware App Data Leak Dangerous?

According to sources on the web, the Spyzie spyware app data leak has impacted around 518 thousand customers of Spyzie – their email addresses have been leaked. What’s also interesting about this, though, is the fact that the security vulnerability using which Spyzie has been compromised apparently allows hackers to access the data held within a phone.  In other words, if your device is affected by the Spyzie spyware app data leak, everything you hold within your phone is now compromised. Also, if you’re a customer of the Spyzie Spyware app, you’re damned too.

Security Flaws in Stalkerware and Spyware

All this shows that even the apps made by hackers facilitating stalkerware and/or spyware aren’t immune to hacking – using apps to hack other individuals? Your data may be in the hands of hackers as well. Whoops!

According to sources on the web, the vast majority of people in the Spyzie data breach appear to have been using Android devices at the time of the service being compromised. As per TechCrunch, Spyzie could also have been used to compromise almost 5,000 devices running iOS software solutions, making it quite a dangerous security issue for a lot of people.

How to Know if I’m Affected by the Spyzie Spyware App Data Leak?

News sources say that it may not be possible to know who’s exactly affected by the Spyzie spyware; however, you can check whether your data has been in the Spyzie spyware app data leak and take measures to check if you’re being spied on, no matter of whether you use Android or iOS.

To check if you are the one affected by the Spyzie spyware app data leak, make use of data breach search engines – BreachDirectory.com doesn’t have the Spyzie leak in its archive yet, but it may soon be included if someone sends it over. With that said, certain data breach search engines have the Spyzie spyware app data leak in their possession already, so if you don’t want to wait, Google around, and you will certainly find a couple. If you have data breaches in your possession and you want to donate leaked data breach data, please do so by using the data breach donation page.

If you’re an Android user and want to know whether you’re the one affected by the Spyzie spyware, dial **001** and call the number. If Spyzie appears on your screen, your device is infected because it’s said that the code is a part of a backdoor that lets you see if your device has been infected.If you’re an iOS user and want to know whether you’re the one affected by the Spyzie spyware, doing so is unfortunately a little more difficult since the Spyzie spyware relies on access to the data stored in iCloud accounts. As such, there’s no concrete way to know if you’re infected, but using strong and unique passwords for all of your online accounts as well as two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible should put you on the right track.
