A random commenter said:They took his keyboards to see if the 3,4 and 5 keys were worn out.
Sure sign of a h4ck3r, that.
Umm... damn I should watch more news. Can you belive I missed that a search warrant lately means that the suspect is guilty? Dang, realy, it sucks to be uninformed.SaraP said:They had a proper search warrant, so all I see is the childish whining and moaning of a wrongdoer who got caught.
well actually sarap's comment never said he was guilty. she just said a wrongdoer was caught
Keganator said:If they find anything illegal on it, such as talk about drugs, or hacking tools, or anything like that, he'll never see it again, even if it had nothing to do with the raid. Pretty screwed up, eh?
Err, so, being friends with a possible criminal makes you a playball for the feds and that's all nice and dandy? Awsome. Also, I wouldn't be that sure that they need much evidence to get a search warrant. If they had much evidence they would have charged him with something, no?SaraP said:Not at all. I think you're missing the illegal part; he's lucky they'd just confiscate the computer, as opposed to bringing charges against him. The FBI's been guilty of iffy tactics in the past, but this time they appear to be doing things by the book -- if there's enough evidence against him for a judge to sign off on a search warrant, he should be examining what he does and who he hangs out with instead of whining about the mean, mean police.

I guess only in America is a wrongdoer not guilty ... ?
That's clear. The way I undertood SaraP's post is that, if you know possible questionable subjects don't complain about the police screwing with your life no matter if you are guilty or not. And she seems to think you need good evidence before somone signs a search warrant. I don't agree to that either. However, it's possible I understood SaraP's post wrong so please correct me.Keganator said:That's the problem with computer crime...fbi agents can't just rifle thorugh your computer folders like they can rifle through your desk. They have to take it away and let analysists look at it, read over logs, etc. Then they come back and nail ya. The whole time he was there, the FBI agents continually pressed into him, saying things like, "If you did it, admit it now and we'll go easy on you. If we have to do it the hard way, you'll be looking at a long jail time." They obviously thought he was involved, someway.
So, what makes him a wrongdoer then? Since there's nothing (at least I didn't see anything) on the page exept that he's a suspect I don't see where the wrongdoing is if it isn't assuming he's guilty of hacking the servers?Lt.Col.BoyHitsCar said:well along the lines of a wrongdoer can be inviolation of moral law without steeping over civil/state/federal law. or even cross civil without crossing... you get the picture.
You do mean encrypted backups, no?Keganator said:All the more reason to make ~weekly backups of all your stuff, isn't it?
