Google Has Notified At Least Dozens of People Targeted by Secret FBI Investigation (vice.com)
At least dozens of people have received an email from Google informing them that the internet giant responded to a request from the FBI demanding the release of user data, news outlet Motherboard reported Tuesday, citing several people who claimed to have received the email. The email did not specify whether Google released the requested data to the FBI. From the report: The unusual notice appears to be related to the case of Colton Grubbs, one of the creators of LuminosityLink, a $40 remote access tool (or RAT), that was marketed to hack and control computers remotely. Grubs pleaded guilty last year to creating and distributing the hacking tool to hundreds of people. Several people on Reddit, Twitter, and on HackForums, a popular forum where criminals and cybersecurity enthusiast discuss and sometimes share hacking tools, reported receiving the email. [...] The email included a legal process number. When Motherboard searched for it within PACER, the US government's database for court cases documents, it showed that it was part of a case that's still under seal.
Is this aing in avoiding arrest, or obstructing an investigation?

Or software that could technically be used for good / neutral purposes? There's plenty of "Remote Access Tool" products such as TeamViewer and GoToAssist; TV and others are occasionally used in security breaches and social-engineering scams by hackers. Don't see any managers of those companies going to jail for "distributing a remote access tool/tool that can be used for hacking"
It will never end.
Well, if the FBI wasn't researching users of hacking tools, then they'd be wasting your tax dollars, eh?
I write crypto and have to email nsa.gov & BIS every time I update my tool. It's a violation of export regulations not to. That puts you on the radar... if you do this kind of thing, just know you're being surveiled. If you publish tools for hacking and they include capabilities not disclosed to the proper authorities, it deserves investigation. The goal is so that if the feds come across encrypted traffic or some exploit they have a library to compare against so they can begin cracking it -- perhaps even contact the authors of said software to enlist their help.
Imagine if it had been some Nazi Cyber-Terrorist that hacked the US power grid instead of the more negotiable Chinese government? Imagine such a hack had used an unknown remote access toolkit, and that a subsequent great recession COULD have been prevented if the toolkit had been known about in advance. Would you rather NSA / FBI / etc. do their job? Or instead sit back with hands tied so you could blame them for "incompetence" after some great cyber-terror core infrastructure attack?
To be perfectly clear, we live in a realm ruled by Hydraulic Despotism. This means cities and states are unsustainable without external power, food, etc. resource. Only ignorant plebs dispute the fact that this control of resource supply and artificial scarcity is why we don't live in barbarism and constant war. However this means the system we live in is incredibly vulnerable. A city can't rebel because you can cut off their fuel, power, food, etc. and they'll fall into zombie-apocalypse mode. However, this means that our system is fragile, and you folks don't know the Herculean efforts carried out in secret to ensure some home-grown lone-wolf rogue Nazi Cyber Terrorist doesn't destroy your world.
TL;DR: The Eye of Sauron is upon you when you don a ring of power, even if it's just a clever way to get CPU ring zero...
Ironically, it's the dems (not you boris) who are most likely to have russian collaborator traitors in their ranks. Or have you forgotten which head of state used to be a communist
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/04/politics/trump-woodward-phone-call/index.html
I picked out the most fascinating parts of the call. They're below.
1. "It's really too bad, because nobody told me about it, and I would've loved to have spoken to you. You know I'm very open to you. I think you've always been fair."
Trump is right -- Woodward is fair -- but the President saying this on tape(!) makes what undoubtedly will be the White House's attempt to discredit Woodward that much tougher. Also, it becomes clear time and time again in this phone call that people -- including White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham -- did talk to Trump (or his scheduling team) about sitting down with Woodward, even if the President says he didn't know it.
2. "Madeleine is the key. She's the secret. Because she's the person...."
Trump is talking about Madeleine Westerhout, his personal assistant. And her being "the key" is no longer much of a secret.
3. "Well, a lot of them are afraid to come and talk, or -- you know, they are busy. I'm busy. But I don't mind talking to you. I would've spoken to you."
The President of the United States is acknowledging that many of his aides are afraid of him! That. Is. Nuts. Also, Trump reiterates here that he would have been more than happy to talk to Woodward.
4. "And I certainly don't mind talking to you, and I wish I could've spoken to you. But nobody called my office. I mean, you went through, I guess, different people...."
Put a pin in this. We'll come back to it.
5. "Who were the senators? No, they never called me about it. ... Senator Graham actually mentioned it quickly in one meeting."
In between Trump saying no senator mentioned it and him admitting Graham mentioned it comes this line from Woodward: "Senator Graham said he had talked to you about talking to me. Now, is that not true?" What happened is this: Trump made a sweeping statement. Woodward called him on it with a fact. Trump acknowledged his previous statement (seconds before) was inaccurate. Good times. (Also, see No. 4.)
6. "So I have another bad book coming out. Big deal."
This can be read either as false bravado (Trump is trying to convince Woodward that nothing can really hurt him with his supporters) or actual bravado (Trump is convinced that nothing can really hurt him with his supporters). I'm honestly not sure which it is.
7. "I mean, you do know I'm doing a great job for the country. You do know that NATO now is going to pay billions and billions of dollars more, as an example, than anybody thought possible, that other presidents were unable to get more?"
This line from Trump comes DIRECTLY after Woodward describes the way in which he used sources and described meeting in the White House. It's almost as if Trump turned on some sort of autopilot function. Because in the context of the conversation, the decision to tout your work on NATO makes a total of 0% sense.
8. "Well, other than Lindsey [Graham], who did quickly mention it, nobody mentioned it."
Um, no. Scroll down. (Also, see No. 4.)
9. "Nobody told me about it. Well, let me ask her. Why don't you speak to Kellyanne. Ask her. She never told me about it."
Trump hands the phone to Conway at this point. (I told you this was an amazing phone call!) Conway, with Trump listening, says this: "I put in the request. But you know, they -- it was rejected. I can only take it so far. I guess I can bring it right to the president next time." Then she adds: "I try to follow all the protocols, or else I'm accused of being somebody who doesn't follow protocol." Conway's shade here at the team who handles Trump interview requests is truly epic. Look, I asked. They said no. Talk to them.
10. "If you would've called directly -- a lot of people are afraid ... Raj, I hardly have ... I don't speak to Raj."
Raj Shah is the principal deputy communications director at the White House. He's running point for
When will you Trump haters realize that's a lot bigger than bringing Trump down?
Maybe you'll hate the out-of-control secret police when they turn on you?
First they came for the pussy grabbers and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a misogynist.
So you're not a Democrat Bill Clinton, Al Franken, Keith Ellison, or Harvey Weinstein?
For sale? How could this be a problem when this is actually built into Windows?*
*As anyone who has ever received a bogus tech support call and then dutifully executed the commands dictated to them by 'Microsoft support'. And then had their system pwned.
Have gnu, will travel.
I didn't get a notice. What's a guy got to do to get targeted around here!?!
Some entity needs to keep an eye on the corrupt, oligarchic government.
And also, at the same time, on the idiots that put them in office!
Self-importance and self-indulgence is the root of ALL evil.
