FBI wants expanded hacking authority | TheHill

FBI wants expanded hacking authority | TheHill: The FBI is pressing the little-known Advisory Committee on Criminal Rules to give it expanded authority to remotely hack and spy on computers in the U.S. and abroad.

The FBI is arguing the change is a necessary update to outdated rules on territorial limits of warrants for electronic storage searches.
