Throughout the past two years, a program called Blackshades has been spread throughout the cyber world, being used to search and control computers remotely. Among some 100 suspects for this malware spread, the creator and owner has been identified. The 24-year-old's identity has remained anonymous thus far, but it is known that he resides in Stockholm, Sweden. The suspect is currently under house arrest, but further action is wanted by the United States' FBI. It has been said that over 500,000 computers in 19 countries have been compromised by the Blackshades program. Sweden is the world's leading country in computer science, heading much development in technology worldwide. However, this also means that "hacker" cases such as this are bound to occur in the future.
