Man Charged with Spying on Thousands of Mac Users for Thirteen Years

Thirteen years of spying is a long run. As Naked Security reported on January 12th , the technical description of the “Fruitfly” malware is “spyware.” But given the way it has allegedly been used, I agree that it might accurately be described as “creepware.” According to a 16-count indictment unsealed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, its creator, Phillip R. Durachinsky, 28, used it to spy on thousands of victims for more than 13 years.
