Last week, the FBI and law enforcement agencies in 17 other countries made 90 arrests around the world in association with the 'Blackshades' Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that allowed cybercriminals to take over more than half a million computers around the globe.

The malware gives hackers the ability to spy on users through their computers' webcam as well as steal files, passwords, and account information from infected PCs.


From a internet address they gave me for more information about Blackshades.

More than 90 arrests have been made in connection with development and sales of a remote access Trojan used worldwide to steal data and spy on victims, including Syrian dissidents.

The FBI and the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office yesterday announced the takedown of the Blackshades operation responsible for the inexpensive and invasive RAT which Citizen Lab of Canada exposed in 2012 as a tool allegedly used by the Syrian government to spy on activists in that country. The RAT was also used by 20-year-old Jared Abrahams to spy on Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf in an extortion scheme; Abrahams was sentenced in March to 18 months in federal prison
