Arrest for housebreaker who installed spyware

Takamasa Kondo, 37, is believed to have broken into a Tokyo apartment and installed spyware on his victims computers. Police claim he stole a door key from a mailbox and installed the BugBear virus onto the victims PC. The virus grabbed keystrokes as the innocent party logged into his bank account, allowing him to break into the bank account from an internet cafe and steal 9 million yen (approximately US $100,000) If true, the hacker directly installed the malware onto his victim’s PC, this is unusual for cybercriminals to not put themselves at personal risk.”]
