Masa Kagawa Arrested and Charged with Running Android Malware Ring

 

 

Earlier this week, high-stakes poker player Masa Kagawa was one of nine men arrested by the Chiba Prefectural Police in Japan and charged with running an Android malware ring and operating a scam dating site. The 50-year-old Kagawa, who is the president of the Tokyo IT firm Koei Planning, is alleged as the mastermind behind the distribution of spam with Android Enesoluty, a malware used to collect personal contact details on a device.

 

Authorities believe the operation ran from September of last year until this past April, which is when authorities raided Koei Planning offices.
