What harm could the owner claim and who would prosecute that? I think an act of shutting down exploited servers is being overthought here.

- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoWell the most obvious thought is if it doesn't go perfectly - server is compromised but works, feds patch it, patch breaks it in some unforseen way.
- Geezus_42 5y agoA previous comment quoted officials stating that no patch was applied. They only removed the specific malware in the warrant and left the servers as they were. Which means they could simply be exploited again.
- salawat 5y agoA Government overstep is never a topic where overthinking is a hazard. This type of thing sets precedents that case law keeps alive into perpetuity.
- 7952 5y agoWhat troubles me is such broad use of a warrant. Is this really search and seizure?
