I wonder what the legal consequences are when you log into the accounts of someone who stole your laptop (that you can still access via SSH).
Are you even allowed to snoop on what happens on your laptop locally?
- tptacek 16y agoLaptop thieves have lost cases trying to claim an expectation of privacy on stolen laptops, but "not because of a bright line rule that thieves never have a reasonable expectation of privacy in stolen property" (Florida Second District Court of Appeals). That case was the police looking at the laptop itself; presumably, if you lifted a cookie out of the browser config on your stolen laptop and sidejacked the thief's email account, her cause of action against you would not get weaker.
