Earlier this week, the Chiba Prefectural Police in Japan arrested nine individuals for distributing spam that included e-mails with links to download Android.Enesoluty - a malware used to collect contact details stored on the owner’s device. The arrested men include Masaaki Kagawa, the 50-year-old president of the Koei Planning, an I.T. firm located in Shibuya, Tokyo. He is also apparently known as an avid poker player who participates in poker tournaments World-wide and has earned over a million U.S. dollars in these competitions. He appears to be the main player running the operation. His passion for taking chances and risks has paid off in the game of Poker, but it’s not looking good for his gambling with Android malware. Kagawa and his associates now await a likely prosecution.
