FBI Compromises Another Remailer

Posted by Unknown on from the very-serious-pranks dept.

betterunixthanunix writes "Another remailer has been compromised by the FBI, who made a forensic image of the hard disk of a remailer located in Austria. The remailer operator has reissued the remailer keys, but warns that messages previously sent through the remailer could be decrypted. The operator also warns that law enforcement agents had an opportunity to install a back door, and that a complete rebuild of the system will take some time."

    So, effectively, the FBI has just committed a crime. They have intruded into the server of a foreign company and added a backdoor. I am surprised Austria is not up in complete arms over this. Anonymity in of itself is not a crime so the FBI really behaved egregiously!
