From what I gleaned from that article, IM-RAT was publicly marketed as a remote management tool.
The article further states: "With the amount of reports of this tool being used for malware and the discussion on illegal forums, it would be very hard for the developer to argue that he did not know how the software was being used."
This seems pretty thin. Would the authors of say nmap be liable because people can/do use it for illegal purposes?
Assuming judges signed of on the raids and domain seizure, I sure hope there was evidence of actual criminal activity beyond what is mentioned in the media.
