The FBI launched a raid against ISP company DigitalOne's servers Tuesday morning in an attempt to catch LulzSec. Digital One had already complied with these agencies in identifying which servers hosted the IP address they were after. The raiders took several enclosures of servers, rather than the servers. The confusion apparently came from DigitalOne's use of a blade system, in which multiple servers are stored on a single Chasis. Even accounting for this confusion, the question remains:
why confiscate the server?
If the FBI wanted to prevent its usage, they've failed. The server could be copied and replaced overnight with no harm. If the FBI wanted the data on the server, they could have asked for a copy. If the FBI wanted to monitor traffic, they could have inserted any number of digital surveilance programs. Instead, they decide to take the server. Is this a new bugdet-cutting initiative?
And all of this nonsensical action in order to catch LulzSec. As the New York Times reports:
A government official who declined to be named said earlier in the day that the F.B.I. was actively investigating the Lulz Security group and any affiliated hackers. The official said the F.B.I. had teamed up with other agencies in this effort, including the Central Intelligence Agency and cybercrime bureaus in Europe.Source: #ANTISEC
