FireEye intern nailed in Darkode downfall was VXer, say the Feds

A former intern at security company FireEye has been arrested for creating and selling the slick and sophisticated Dendroid malware program after being caught in a global police sting that obliterated the Darkode cybercrime forum.

Prosecutors say that Morgan Culbertson, 20, of Pittsburgh, was most recently working as a whitehat anti-malware professional at the security giant while also building and selling Dendroid, a product which the company would label its chief enemy.
