FBI sending malware to 'myspace' clients? In a word, yes!

[mikeyjo]

Hey,

Ran across this story and thought it would be of interest to peeps on here. Criminals of any type can have their online activities tracked and stored by the feds.

"FBI agents trying to track the source of e-mailed bomb threats against a Washington high school last month sent the suspect a secret surveillance program designed to surreptitiously monitor him and report back to a government server, according to an FBI affidavit obtained by Wired News.
The court filing offers the first public glimpse into the bureau's long-suspected spyware capability, in which the FBI adopts techniques more common to online criminals."

The tech to do this has been around for decades. Carnivore and Echelon are antiquated versions of it. Servers sitting somewhere in Virginia searching for keywords in communications. With digital communications it's as easy as scanning data for a specific sequence of 1's and 0's. Voice, email, forum postings... They tap the trunk lines and and have access to everything.

Torpark, and now Xerobank have been available for a while and offer a good amount of obscurity. You can read more about the project here:

And to answer your question. It can be used to ID any criminal e.g. peeps participating on here if growing is outlawed in your country/state.

Not selling anything either, knowledge should be shared not only available to those who can afford it .

if I was busted because they spied on me for growing, I'd put up one hell of a 4th amendment battle in court, that's for sure...

OK, cool! :thumbsup:
My next Q would be how effective are the 'disclaimers' that everyone uses?
(not to jack the thread)

[twoguysupnorth]

great, we either all knew that or sort of expected it. keep everyone in check by fear if nothing else. what? who cares if they can do it?(i do) they cant do it legally. the kid admitted to it, whether he was caught or not right? what do you think terrorism is? i think ill google it, lol!

Well, bit of advice. Their are helicopters that can detect super hot lights inside houses by flying over them. That's how they find where the growers are... True story.

The disclaimers are BS.
If they think you are worth investigating, the disclaimer isn't going to protect you.
And I've seen disclaimers attached to grows that are like, a plant in a computer box, that the FBI is not exactly going to waste time on.
You generally need to attract LOCAL attention to be in danger. If your grow is big enough to attract attention just by posting pics on the web, you should not be posting them.
Use your brain here. If you have say a couple hundred plants, you probably DON'T want to post pics that show all of them at once. Dig?
