The Feds Will Soon Be Able to Legally Hack Almost Anyone Senator Ron Wyden, Matt Blaze and Susan Landau
That’s why it’s so concerning that the Justice Department is planning a vast expansion of government hacking. Under a new set of rules, the FBI would have the authority to secretly use malware to hack into thousands or hundreds of thousands of computers that belong to innocent third parties and even crime victims. The unintended consequences could be staggering.
This Rule was probably developed soon after Rule 34 was understood by the agencies responsible for surveillance activities.
One possible slippery slope analysis not seen elsewhere...
