    News Supreme Court Grants NSA Remote Hacking Powers

    US Supreme Court approves expanded hacking powers - BBC News

    The US Supreme Court has approved a rule change that could allow law enforcement to remotely search computers around the world. Now the US government can hack into your computer no matter where you are in the world.

    Cue ROCHARD [Government Pet] to tell us that he's fine because he has nothing to hide and Paul Markham [Retarded Idiot] to tell us that we'll all be safer from terrorists because of this.

          Why do you hate America?
          So disliking something about the law or policy of a Government is the same as hating the country of that Government?
          Isn't that almost the vision of a Communist, Totalitarian Society?

          Are you some kind of Communist?
          Are you some kind of Dick?

              This simply means they have been doing it for years only now making it official - nothing new - SOP here in the "land of the free."

                  well I'm far from being pro-mass surveillance, but I actually fully understand this move.
                  Hacking into someone's computer is not a mass surveillance...
                  in theory such hacks will be used to hack mostly/ only into bad guys' machines - criminals, pedos, human traffickers, terrorists etc. also - other countries' big fishes like businessmen, politicians and so on.
                  This is in theory - we all know that NSA motto is "sniff it all, collect it all and exploit it all"
                  And if you are journalist, linux lover, sysadmin, NGO guy - you will land into that list of targets too

                              [ F]irst, in setting aside the traditional limits under Rule 41, the proposed amendment would likely end up being used by U.S. authorities to directly search computers and devices around the world. ....
                              The U.S. has many diplomatic arrangements in place with other countries to cooperate in investigations that cross national borders, including Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs). ...

                              The significant foreign relations issues associated with the proposed change to Rule 41 should be addressed by Congress and the President, not the Advisory Committee.
                              Second, the proposed change threatens to undermine the privacy rights and computer security of Internet users. ...

                              It carries with it the specter of government hacking without any Congressional debate or democratic policymaking process.
                              Likewise, the change seemingly means that the limit on warrants is excused in any instance where a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is set up. Banks, online retailers, communications providers and other businesses around the world commonly use VPNs to help keep their networks and users? information secure. A VPN can obscure the actual location of a network, however, and thus could be subject to a remote search warrant where it would not have been otherwise ...

                              Well, good fucking luck getting into our corporate VPN ... The real problem is the use of VPNs and Botnets to hide computer crimes like phishing and other computer fraud -- like credit card fraud.

                              For the OP -- Read the article again. The NSA is not mentioned the DoJ is. The United States Department of Justice is the investigation and prosecution federal authority -- FBI and US Attorney's Office.

                                      Just for the record: VPNs in the US are the most commonly used foils to conceal credit card fraud -- I deal with this on a daily basis. So, judicial extraterritorial warrants don't seem to be the real issue here

                                      With regard to phishing and bank fraud that is a (or the) real problem. Dumb shits open zip attachments in their email and load trojans. You cannot imprison all the dumb shits in the world -- we do not have the prison space.

                                      Back in Ben Franklin's days they had debtors prison, slavery was legal, they hung horse thieves and burnt witches at the stake -- so that Ben Franklin quote is taken out of context and irrelevant.
