Stub

Since this just hit the news, and my own searches came up with very little besides the initial news articles, I decided to create this stub article. Its my first stub, and first to include citations, so please forgive any mistakes of not understanding the process. I did try to at least search for an use examples from other stub articles. Any tips or links for creating better stubs, etc, would be appreciated. I think the article has a split-infinitive in it. I'm not sure if thats exceptable or not. :-) --Mespinola 17:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Legality

Whether it requires a wiretap warrant or not, its installation by exploiting a security hole on a victim's machine would appear to be blatantly illegal, in violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in particular. This isn't running a red light with the sirens on -- this is a clear violation of the principle of rule of law on which all civilized countries are, in part, founded.

Emplacing it purely by "social engineering" would seem to be a fuzzier matter though; an interesting case to test some day in court.

Wikipedia is not a discussion forum. -- Beland (talk) 19:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Computer and Internet Protocol Address Verifier. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080516201251/http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2007/07/fbi_spyware to http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2007/07/fbi_spyware
