Re: OT: The FBI Hacked My Computer
Meanwhile, the RIAA is getting a taste of their own medicine from script kiddies who heard about their efforts to get 'legal sanction' to hack music downloaders...

Slashdot is fun to read sometimes.

Re: OT: The FBI Hacked My Computer
I've always believed the best way to throw people off the truth is to make B-grade movies about the subject.
Yes, that's right, hot dogs are PEOPLE!

Re: OT: The FBI Hacked My Computer
Here is another non-American talking about American agencies, but the FBI certainly works outside of the US. They are routinely used as liaisons between local police forces and the US government. They also have an active program of recruiting good cops from foreign countries, running them through the FBI academy and then sending them back to the country they came from. These cops then turning into “contacts” for the Embassy, as well as getting assigned to any cases where the Embassy has an interest. They also end up nosing around the sites of terrorist attacks and so forth. The US Embassy bombing in Nairobi was certainly not interstate crime, but somehow a lot of FBI ended up here. I am not complaining, I lost friends in that attack, but I just wanted to point out that they are quite active internationally.
Further, I would add that most of us have more to fear from our network administrator trolling through our computers than the FBI doing so. The network admin has fewer legal restrictions on them and almost no logistical problems to overcome. The FBI has bigger legal and computer challenges to get over.
