20080218 FBI saugte versehentlich EMails einer ganzen Domain ab

18.02.2008 - WASHINGTON â?? A technical glitch gave the F.B.I. access to the e-mail messages from an entire computer network â?? perhaps hundreds of accounts or more â?? instead of simply the lone e-mail address that was approved by a secret intelligence court as part of a national security investigation, according to an internal report of the 2006 episode.

F.B.I. officials blamed an â??apparent miscommunicationâ? with the unnamed Internet provider, which mistakenly turned over all the e-mail from a small e-mail domain for which it served as host. The records were ultimately destroyed, officials said.

Bureau officials noticed a â??surgeâ? in the e-mail activity they were monitoring and realized that the provider had mistakenly set its filtering equipment to trap far more data than a judge had actually authorized.
