The FBI Has a Trojan To Watch You

G_of_the_J writes "A man who had cut 18 cables affecting Verizon and Comcast was blackmailing them. He had demanded bank accounts be set up and information be provided on web sites that he specified. Although he used anonymous access to get to the web sites, the FBI had planted a trojan which was downloaded to his computer. The trojan then sent his IP address and other information to the FBI."

    Or am i just a European speaking to an American ; ).

    OK. They get it. Much of the world doesn't think highly of Americans. (Although, when visiting here, they're generally polite if ignorant.)

    But why in the hell do Europeans always get off on this superiority complex and insist on identifying themselves so that they can claim to be somehow better?

    I swear - You Europeans are worse than Americans on the "We're better than you" scale. Is all of Europe striving to be as bad as the French?

    Thank you for making that clear. We promise to never discuss anything that isn't directly related to TFA ever again. From the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry. Oh and thank you for keeping the streets of /. safe.
