A 20-year old French hacker has been arrested for stealingabout 500,000 euros ($651,000) from approximately 17,000 people using malwareembedded in software apps.

一个20岁的法国黑客因涉嫌窃取约50万欧元（折合64.1万美元）被逮捕。他通过在约有17,000人使用的软件中植入恶意应用程序，从而窃取金钱。

The hacker worked out of his parents home since 2011,designing free apps that were similar in appearance to popular ones.

自2011年起，该黑客开始设计在外观上类似流行应用软件的恶意程序。

These clone apps sent text messages to premium-rate numberswithout the user's knowledge and recorded sign-in information for gaming andgambling websites, neither of which are unusual techniques.

这些“克隆”应用程序无需提供用户信息即可向会产生额外费用的号码发送信息，还能为游戏和赌博网站记录用户注册信息。这两项技术均非同寻常。

The BBC reports that after his arrest in Amiens, the hacker admitted his crimes andclaimed that he wasn't in it for the money, but acted out of "a love ofcomputers and an ambition to be a software developer."

据英国广播公司报道，该黑客在亚眠（法国北部城市）被捕后，对罪行供认不讳。不过该黑客声称他并不出于金钱目的，只是充满“对计算机的热爱和成为软件开发人员的雄心”。
