lol Anonymous.

It looks like it requires someone to open something in order for this to work, I wouldn't work with anyone that internets with a moderate amount of intelligence/paranoia.

On the other hand, I'm sure they have other tools that work better. This probably works much better then they let on...

Then they could execute arbitrary code on your system, and you're basically hosed. This is exactly the same way people get exploited by spammers and turned into botnet zombies. It happens every day.

But, the people who the FBI really want to watch use SSH tunnels, proxies, and Linux boxes. When was the last time you heard of a Linux based zombie net?

Why does it seem that the government is putting way to much effort into watching the common citizen?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
