FBI Spyware Used to Nab Hackers and Extortionists

The FBI using spyware to catch hackers, thieves and scumbags? Oh, the sweet irony!

One suspect used Microsoft's Hotmail to send bomb and anthrax threats to an undercover government investigator; another demanded a payment of $10,000 a month to stop cutting cables; a third was an alleged European hitman who was soliciting for business from a Hushmail.com account.

That's very interesting, but really cool. Kinda funny how the police are using spyware when they normally try to find the people making spyware. It's a good use though, nice to see it has already worked.
