We’d reported a landmark judgement by the United States Supreme Court, that will grant FBI powers to hack on any computer on the planet using just one warrant. The exact same judgement contains an innocuous para related to VPN and Tor users.

The recently authorized rule change by the U.S. Supreme Court will let FBI to search and confiscate any computer around the world, discovered to be using secrecy applications like VPN or Tor.

As said in our preceding post, the new opinion bestows tremendous powers to FBI to have the ability to search computers — if the agency does’t understand where that computer is found—if an user has anonymity applications installed on it.

This power should quit -grab in its courses and instead demand responses from the FBI, which so far has been ducking Congress’ questions on this problem and fighting in court to keep its strategies secret that is hacking.”

The new rule will impact millions of VPn and Tor users. Tor is being already preferred by many Facebook users to browse FB. As of April, over one million people use Tor only to browse Facebook, the media giant that was social noted in a blog post.

Chief Justice John Roberts submitted the change to Congress as part of the court’s yearly set of changes to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which tell every national prosecution in the state.

Rule 41, in its present form, stipulates that magistrate judges can only authorize investigations within their own authority. The change would enable them to issue warrants impound info on a computer if its place has been hidden through technical means and to hack into.”

Lack of resistance to the rule could mean that we’ve got a subversive spying effort against VPN and Tor users all over the world without the user knowing it.
