FBI remotely installs spyware to trace bomb threat
July 28, 2007 · Filed Under Security
ZDnet has an interesting article on how FBI remotely, I repeat - remotely plant a virus by email without the knowledge of the user, the manage to trace the user right after planting it without the user clicking on the virus. Which is pretty shocking right?
The FBI used a novel type of remotely installed spyware last month to investigate who was e-mailing bomb threats to a high school near Olympia, Wash.
The question is:
If they can plant a virus, then they can plant evidence, too.
