FBI’s search for ‘Mo’ highlights use of malware for surveillance

A little more concerning to me: "The FBI has been able to covertly activate a computer’s camera — without triggering the light that lets users know it is recording"

It freaks me out! I have many same attributes as this so called Mo!

   - I have a name that starts with "Mo"
   - I am from Iran
   - I am twenty something
   - I have the same skin color

I am kind of sure that they stole my information. I feel tribble right now

Question: I assume it uses various zero-days and known exploits to work. But what if I'm doing all of this through a Linux VM? The guy in question is "savvy" enough to use a proper proxy, and his OPSEC is good enough to get away with things thus far...

frankly its fine that they do this, as long as it is regulated and is not abused. Today's criminals are harder to catch and to be blunt if the NSA had not broken laws and crossed the lines they had crossed stories like these would be fine and would not even have media relevancy.
