Corporate security has never been more relevant in this day and age, with many companies considering data theft and hacking as some of the biggest threats. Many corporations are turning to security companies to counter the threat of hackers and protect their information. However, the latest computer-related crime conviction shows that not all security contractors have good intentions.
Such is the case of 20-year-old Morgan Culbertson, a former intern at FireEye, who faces up to 10 years in prison after admitting to designing malicious software tool, Dendroid.
The Pennsylvania man is awaiting sentencing after admitting to creating the software tool that allowed users to create stealthy malicious apps, which would take pictures using the phone's camera, record audio and video, and download photos. The app, which sold for $300 on crime forum Darkode, contained unique coding which made evasion from anti-malware programs easy.
