Terrorist sues HP after HP's encryption fails to keep data from the FBI

[KLin]

Someone lock this guy up in a small cage and throw away the key :roll:

Didn't the NSA/FBI approach Microsoft about putting a backdoor in their OS?

fixed. If you use high end encryption software and are very smart about it, you can keep your drive safe until the dawn of quantum supercomputers . . . . .

Yeah, the guy was dumb to trust HP for data encryption.

Oh, and did HP circumvent the encryption thereby violating the DMCA?

No doubt in my mind that there are back doors in all commercial encryption packages that are not open source. Duh. Just like you know there's going to be a huge back door into windows vista encryption. Still, the guy has a point, if HP is touting their products as "secure", then there should be no 'back doors' into it.

Agreed. What's to stop them from providing a backdoor to anyone. I imagine nothing is stopping them. The fact is, their product does not do what it's advertised to do and the deserve to be sued, if not flamed into oblivion, at minimum.

After looking at this guy's previous convictions, I doubt that the prosecutor's needed the evidence on his computer.

If not then probably the math wizards to figure it out.

You've been watching waaay too many movies my alien friend.

meh, FBI, national security, etc...they get the best and brightest.
