Trend Micro helps FBI detect SpyEye Malware Creator
Trend Micro has announced that it has assisted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in prosecution of "SpyEye" malware creator. The Russian man who created the SpyEye Trojan used to attack countless millions of online bank accounts has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in an Atlanta court room.
"This arrest shows how security companies, working closely with law-enforcement agencies, can deliver results. By going after the cybercriminals themselves instead of their servers, we ensured that permanent damage was done to the whole underground. We believe that this is the way to attack cybercrime and make the Internet safer for all," said Dhanya Thakkar, Managing Director, India & SAARC, Trend Micro.
Trend Micro threat defence experts contributed intelligence to the efforts to capture and convict the Russian mastermind.
