Taiwanese police have arrested a man for writing and distributing a Trojan that was apparently used by Chinese hackers to steal and destroy information on government-owned computers in Taiwan.
Wang An-ping, 30, an engineer from Kaohsiung, has admitted to writing Peep, which allows hackers to steal and destroy data stored on infected computers. According to the China Post, Wang spent his free time designing software and had intended to sell Peep for commercial purposes, but eventually decided to give it away for free on his Web site.
