A search warrant leading to a malware infected machine is acceptable in my eyes. Again, tying traffic to a location is fine, as long as the correlation ends at the computer that originally appears to be the source of the traffic (even if it ultimately isn't) is all that is targeted until evidence can determine the individual behind it.
- guitarbill 10y ago> A search warrant leading to a malware infected machine is acceptable in my eyes. Search warrant for what? All TCP/IP enabled devices? Or the router? An IP address doesn't even uniquely identify a single device. (Also given how search warrants are executed in the US and how long they can seize these devices for, I don't know if I'd say it's "acceptable". I'm in favour of setting the bar high to protect the innocent.)
