‘Loverspy’ Spyware Creator Now Most Wanted Internet Criminal on FBI’s List
Carlos Enrique Perez-Melara, an ex-student of certain San Diego-situated college, was lately listed on Federal
Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) list of Internet criminals, who were most wanted, because he had created
“Loverspy”
one notorious spyware also called “Email PI,” published theverge.com dated November 7, 2013.
Perez-Melara, aged 33, had developed the malware valuing $89 such that it would catch a person who acted
deceitfully while pretending to love. It dispatched one e-greeting card to the suspected deceiver which if viewed
would plant one especially harmful Trojan capable of seizing e-mail ids, keystrokes, IM (instant messages) as
well as movie from the victim’s web-based camera. Following the Trojan’s planting, the contaminated PC fully
came under the control of the hacker
