Webcam hacker spied on sex acts with BlackShades malware

A Leeds-based hacker used a notorious piece of malware called BlackShades to spy on people via their webcams.

Investigators from the National Crime Agency found images on the computer of Stefan Rigo, 34, including ones of people involved in sexual activity, some of whom were on Skype at the time.
Rigo was arrested in November last year during an international investigation.

He has been given a 20-week suspended sentence and placed on the sex offenders' register for seven years.

Rigo targeted a variety of victims after gaining remote access to their computers' webcams.
Incriminating images on his computer were discovered after a forensic examination.

At a hearing in July, Rigo pleaded guilty to one count of voyeurism and another computer-related offence.
Out of 14 confirmed individuals he spied on - roughly half were people he knew personally, an NCA spokesman told the BBC.

He might get a shot of me picking my nose.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

My camera would show me with a dirty keyboard and a pussy on my lap. I am a voyeur's delight. I really am.

You should definitely clean that keyboard. The survival of civilization may depend on it.

Reminds me of the phone booth sanitisers the Golgafrinchans sent away on the B ark.

The photo is a few months old, and the keyboard has been sanitised shortly after the voyeur spied it. If civilisation karks it the reason for that will lie elsewhere. Have you checked your laundry basket lately?

Gin will sterilise things, but that is being deplorably wasteful.
