My question: how does a US warrant apply to computers outside US jurisdiction?
- paxys 3y agoThey didn't access any random computers outside of their jurisdiction, only Qakbot servers.
- paganel 3y agoI must have missed it, but does the article mention that those servers were all located inside the US? (where I supposed FBI has jurisdiction for stuff like this).

- paxys 3y ago> As part of the operation, the FBI gained lawful access to Qakbot’s infrastructure and identified over 700,000 infected computers worldwide—including more than 200,000 in the U.S. "Lawful access" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but at least they specified it.

- rainsford 3y agoThe first sentence of the article describes it as a "multinational operation" and the title credits both FBI and "partners". That makes it pretty clear it wasn't just a US agency operating with the authority of a US warrant.
