Tweaktown: The owner and operator of BlackShades has plead not guilty to computer hacking charges, for his role in selling malware software. Alex Yucel, 24, was arrested last November and extradited to the United States, and now faces up to 15 years if convicted of conspiring to commit access device fraud and access to device fraud, among other charges.
The group reportedly sold its Remote Access Tool (RAT) to thousands of customers across the world since 2010, authorities noted.
