Tracker firm Hapn spilled names of thousands of GPS tracking customers

TechCrunch learned a website bug at Hapn (formerly Spytec) exposed information for more than 8,600 GPS trackers — including IMEI numbers and thousands of customer names and business affiliations — accessible via developer tools when logged into a Hapn account. The exposed records did not include location data, but the leaked identifiers and personal details raise privacy and potential stalking concerns; Hapn stated the issue affected records from April 2024, said it is resolved, and disputed the scale of the exposure.
