Phillip R. Durachinsky, 28, is accused of creating and installing spyware on thousands of computers for more than 13 years. The U.S. Justice Department unsealed 16-count indictment charges on Wednesday against a computer programmer from Ohio. He is alleged to have created the FruitFly malware that was found targeting Apple Mac users earlier last year. The malware is capable of advanced surveillance on Mac devices with the ability to remotely take control of webcams, microphones, screen, mouse, and keyboards.
