GLOBAL EFFORT: Preet Bharara announcing a massive law enforcement action targeting the creators of the Blackshades software
NEW YORK: Police across Europe and North America have arrested nearly 100 people over a global scam that allowed hackers to infect 500,000 computers, steal data and demand ransom money.
An online business known as Blackshades sold thousands of cybercriminals the malware called RAT (Remote Access Tools) for as little as US$40 (RM128.60), US officials said Monday.
