He sold the code for $39.95 a time, although <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/07\/17\/luminositylink_creepware_developer_guilty\/\">he admitted<\/a> that he knew his customers were criminals who would use it for nefarious purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the program would be installed on victims&#8217; Windows machines \u2013 physically by bad friends and spouses, or remotely via booby-trapped downloads and attachments, for example \u2013 and used to spy on their activities. The software nasty could snoop on computers&#8217; cameras and microphones, view and download files, steal usernames and passwords, mine cryptocurrency, launch attacks against other networks, and prevent antivirus packages from detecting and removing it. More than 6,000 people bought the spyware, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n<p>Grubbs was eventually tracked down and snared by the FBI. He initially denied any wrongdoing, then changed his plea to guilty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur modern society is dependent on computers, mobile devices, and the use of the internet,\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-edky\/pr\/stanford-man-sentenced-30-months-computer-intrusion-crimes\">said<\/a> Robert Duncan, Jr, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2018\/02\/13\/hacker_shutterstock.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"hacker\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Man admits to selling remote access malware used by morons for spying\">Scumbag confesses in court: LuminosityLink creepware was my baby<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/07\/17\/luminositylink_creepware_developer_guilty\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\u201cPeople simply have to have confidence in their ability to use these modern instruments to transact their business, privately communicate, and securely maintain their information.

Everyone benefits when this deceitful conduct is discovered, investigated, and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While LuminosityLink had some legitimate uses as a remote administration tool, Grubbs promoted it on websites like HackForums.net and, when investigators came calling, he tried to hide his computers and accounts from view.<\/p>\n<p>As part of his plea, he will hand over to Uncle Sam his Bitcoin stash \u2013 the proceeds from his spyware peddling \u2013 which is currently valued at $725,000. He must also &#8220;serve 85 percent of his prison sentence; and upon his release, he will be under the supervision of the United States Probation Office for a term of three years,&#8221; according to
