The FBI has proposed a rule change that would greatly broaden its powers to hack into computers. The change would allow a judge to issue warrants to gain “remote access” to computers “located within or outside that district” in cases in which the “district where the media or information is located has been concealed through technological means” The Department of Justice has already applied for the rule change, and next week, an advisory committee will hear testimony from experts on the matter. Broadening the scope of FBI powers that are already probably too lax without categorically demonstrated need is a bad thing.”]
