The malware gave him access to data and allowed him to upload files, download and take screenshots, track keystrokes, and turn on the camera and microphone -- and record it all. 。

When Mashablereported about the spyware back in July, Synack chief security researcher Patrick Wardle said, "[A] hacker built this to spy on users for probably perverse reasons."。

It gets worse. According to the DOJ, Durachinsky allegedly watched and listened to people who were infected. He's also said to have been alerted by the malware if words associated with porn were typed on an infected device.。
