Latest webcam trojan author behind bars

Okay, so Tic-Tac isn't the first P2P-distributed trojan (of course), nor is it the only one that swipes up network resources, bags keylogging, and repropagates. But at least it's the first that grants the virus master the ability to control the infected users' webcams, right? Oh, wait,
nevermind. And still, we can't possibly imagine what kind of virus author would think they would have the requisite time to parse useful information from tens of thousands of infected webcams, but the Madrid-based author is apparently now behind bars, and will have more than enough time to ponder the folly of his scheme. Perhaps a fitting punishment might be to affix a publicly accessible webcam on his cell? But don't think we're out of the woods yet; PC World reports that no commercial virus scanners yet have fixes for this bug, so you may want to disrobe in the bathroom until you're extra sure. Unless you're the type who likes
undressing in front of active webcams.
