If this is true then how did they catch it? Does SO keep records of all name changes? Did they give that info to the FBI? Do the FBI scrape SO and save all versions of the data? Was this data collected from PRISM?
- underwater 13y agoI assume the FBI subpoenaed all information related to the account from SO, which would likely include a full history of changes.
- CodeCube 13y agoThe exact question I had ... though I guess if they're tracking all network data, then they could have just gone back and looked up the history of the SO post.
