Aleksandr Andreevich Panin, who created the SpyEye Trojan, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in an Atlanta court room. He was caught by an FBI sting in which he was fooled into selling the malware to an undercover agent. Panin was accused of conspiring with co-defendant Hamza Bendelladj, extradited to the US last year, of developing and distributing SpyEye on an ongoing basis between 2009 and 2011. The number of SpyEye-infected machines was around 1.4 million but the true scale of damage it caused must be far greater.”]
