“Facebook worked with the FBI to identify a UK person accused of being part of a global cyber-crime organisation, said the FBI in a statement.
The social networking site helped the law enforcement agency to locate 10 individuals around the world by "helping to identify the perpetrators." The UK individual (as yet unnamed) is accused of working as part of a cyber crime organisation, using a malware program called Yahos. After Facebook helped to identify the individual, the FBI worked with SOCA (the Serious Organised Crime Agency) in the UK to make the arrest.”
