Judge Rules FBI Can't Use Hackers to Collect Evidence Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version Friday, November 15 2002 @ 04:04 PM

A federal judge has ruled that evidence collected by a hacker who was helping the FBI would not be admissable in court, in a child pornography case against Virginia resident William Adderson Jarrett. An anonymous cybervigilante had used the SubSeven trojan to view files on the computers of people who frequented child porn newsgroups. He then tipped off Alabama officials, who in turn contacted the FBI with their findings. The FBI encouraged the hacker to continue collecting evidence, which eventually formed the basis of their case against Jarret. But his defense attorneys successfully argued that the FBI had violated his Fourth Amendment rights because his computer had been searched without a warrant. The ruling will likely be appealed by federal prosecutors - we suspect that the outcome will have a significant impact on the way law enforcement conducts its electronic investigations in the future.
