The Department of Justice (DOJ) is trying to expand the government\u2019s hacking powers to an unconstitutional level using a little-known procedural rule amendment process. The amendment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/join-eff-rule-41-update-lets-federal-judges-unconstitutionally-hack\/\">Rule 41<\/a> of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure will allow any federal judge to issue a blanket warrant to hack any devices discovered to be obfuscating its location through technological means or found to be part of a botnet. The only way to stop the changes to Rule 41 lie with a new bill: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/114th-congress\/senate-bill\/3475\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">S.3475<\/a>, which was introduced by Senator Coons [D-DE] on November, 17th. The cosponsors of the bill are: Senator Wyden [D-OR], Senator Daines [R-MT], Senator Lee [R-UT], Senator Franken [D-MN], Senator Baldwin [D-WI], and Senator Paul [R-KY].<\/p>\n<p>This bill won\u2019t even stop the changes to Rule 41, only delay them until July 1st. The Senators hope that public awareness of this unconstitutional development will rise after the lame duck session and further legislation can be passed in order to reign in the DOJ.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Wyden first started the fight against the Rule 41 amendment much earlier this year when he introduced the Stop Mass Hacking (SMH) Act. With the SMH Act, Senator Wyden and the bill\u2019s other cosponsors sought \u201cto prevent the proposed amendments to rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure from taking effect.\u201d As of November,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/tipsheets\/morning-cybersecurity\/2016\/11\/rule-41-change-probably-wont-get-congressional-action-nist-congress-address-internet-of-things-security-trump-talks-to-moscow-beijing-217417\">The Politico<\/a>\u00a0marked the SMH Act as dead in the water, partly because of the lack of support from any of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Coons, is the one submitting the bill.<\/p>\n<h2>The Department of Justice refused to justify why they need to be able to hack everybody with Rule 41<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this year, a bi-partisan coalition of Senators and House Representatives drafted a letter to the Department of Justice asking for clarification on the Rule 41 amendment. In response, they got a limited letter from the DOJ that didn\u2019t answer any technical questions or address any of their concerns. Senator Wyden, along with the 23 other senators, responded to the Department of Justice sternly:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe American people deserve answers to these very basic questions about how our government intends to hack thousands or millions of personal devices with a single warrant. The Justice Department\u2019s failure to answer these questions should be a big blinking warning sign about whether the government can be trusted to carry out these hacks without harming the security and privacy of innocent Americans\u2019 phones, computers and other devices.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Changing the rules of the game so that one warrant can cover thousands or millions of devices is exactly as alarming as it sounds. The Rule 41 amendment will be used against those that obfuscate their location through technological means. This doesn\u2019t just mean changing your IP address through the use of Tor, VPNs, or even free proxies. This could also means denying location data to a mobile app, or lying about your country of residence while signing up for a service online. Legally, it\u2019s long been shown that having a different IP address is not enough probable cause to issue a search warrant. The DOJ\u2019s changes to Rule 41 are alarming because they don\u2019t address basic issues such as that. What about the millions of students and workers that rely on VPN to work securely?<\/p>\n<p>Since the internet is open, the DOJ is essentially granting warrants to itself to search and infect devices that don\u2019t even belong to US citizens, and won\u2019t even be on US soil. That problem becomes even more blatant when you do the same to US citizens, who are supposed to be protected by the Fourth Amendment. As it stands,\u00a0S.3475 is the only piece of legislation that can stop the Rule 41 amendment from going into affect on December 1st. If you\u2019re interested in contacting your Senator and letting him or her know that they need to vote for S.3475, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2016\/11\/give-congress-time-debate-new-government-hacking-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EFF<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.decidethefuture.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FFTF<\/a>, and AccessNow have resources that will help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rule 41 is set to be changed on December 1st.
