FBI can install a piece of spyware called "cipav" through gmail... jjoensuu 07-20-2007

Found this article that talks about a piece of spyware called "cipav",
used by none less than the FBI. According to the article the
organization is able to get this piece of spyware installed through
the target users gmail and myspace accounts.

Check for example this link:
http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20070719/cipav/

or this:
http://www.heise-security.co.uk/news/92950

Would not surprise me if it was possible to accomplish this through
yahoo and hotmail as well. Most likely all large U.S. corporations are
in bed with 'who-ever-may-now-be-in-charge', just as various
corporations provided silent support for Hitlers atrocities during
WWII. Probably part of the reason as to why yahoo recently removed
their email storage meter;-P

Some months ago it was in the news that google did not want to give
out information about its users search queries to the government. At
least they did not deny collecting data, which they do (because it is
'big business').

Better to use other search engines (like perhaps clusty?) if you care
about privacy, or disable java* technologies and cookies while using
yahoo or google...

It is possible that a regular person out on the corner town in the former
USSR, or so china regulate the web has the power to create one why not the
Federal Govt. themselves to help them locate and create a case against a
known criminal.

the equivalent name to the consipiracy theory of such was once brought out
on a black hat convention.

You mean, a known suspect? Many resons. The evidence will be thrown out by
the court. The government will need a remote exploit, which is not always
available. And so on.
