>Last week the FBI let a pedophile who ran a hugely popular darknet CP site go instead of revealing the full details of their own hacking:
You can't really compare hacking suspected pedophiles to hacking yahoo.
- superkuh 10y agoYou can though because the reason they don't want to go into the details is that it wasn't targeted hacking. You can't target individuals on privacy maintaining networks like tor, i2p, freenet, gnunet, etc. You have you hack very large groups of people indiscriminately. That's why the FBI made changes to their procedural rules at the start of this year saying they could hack anyone who obscures their point of origin. Now they can get a single warrant and hack millions of people with it and it's still "okay". To be clear: they weren't just hacking "suspected pedophiles". They were hacking a huge population of people then sorting through after. Just like an attack on yahoo.
