The FBI reportedly used a bug in an older version of the free anonymity software Tor to insert malware on the computers of people who accessed a child-porn website it had seized. The malware gave agents the ability to see visitors real Internet addresses and track them down.
Defense lawyers for Jay Mochaud of Vancouver, Wash., argued they had the right to review the malware in order to pursue their argument that the government compromised the security of Mochauds computer, leading to the illicit material ending up there unintentionally.
