A Canadian woman has been arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for hacking computers, taking over their webcams and spying on people.

Police are positive that Valérie Gignac, a 27-year-old suspect is involved in hacking computers of innocent users with the help of malicious software, taking over their webcams, spy on people and loading x-rated websites.

Gignac owns a famous hacking forum with more than 35,000 members worldwide, according to the police.

At first the police denied revealing her identity, but later she was identified as Valérie Gignac from Saint-Alphonse-de-Rodriguez municipality of Quebec, Canada.
