FBI ducks questions about its remotely installed spyware

By

Did you know that the FBI is using a piece of software known as the Computer and Internet Protocol Address Verifier, or CIPAV? The FBI used this remotely installed spyware last month to investigate who was e-mailing bomb threats to a high school near Olympia, Wash and has since been in the headlines and rightly so.

Does the CIPAV have the capability, if so configured, to record keystrokes? Generally, does the FBI have the ability to electronically and surreptitiously deliver monitoring software to a target’s PC that records keystrokes?
