Cybercrime Review

  • 1st Circuit holds that cell phone searches incident to arrest violate the 4th Amendment
  • In United States v. Wurie, No. 11-1792 (1st Cir. 2013), the First Circuit held that the search of a cell phone incident to arrest categorically violates the Fourth Amendment. As a result, the court reversed the defendant's motion to suppress, vacated the conviction, and remanded the case. While performing routine surveillance, a Boston police officer observed a man conducting what appeared to be

  • Featured Paper: Hacking Speech: Informational Speech And The First Amendment (Update)
  • The Northwestern University Law Review's newest issue (a special edition recognizing Northwestern Law faculty member Martin Redish) offers an interesting piece by Andrea M. Matwyshyn titled "Hacking Speech: Informational Speech And The First Amendment." Dr. Matwyshyn is an assistant professor of legal studies and business ethics at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, a faculty affil

  • 7th Circuit dismisses CFAA civil claim for failure to satisfy $5,000 loss requirement
  • This case focuses a bit more on the civil side of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). In Modrowski v. Pogatto, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals demonstrates the importance of the value requirement of a civil suit under the CFAA. 18 U.S.C. § 1030(g) states, in relevant part, that [a]ny person who suffers damage or loss by reason of a violation of this section may maintain a civil acti

  • Former Romney/Ryan intern charged with cyberstalking and internet extortion denied bail
  • In United States v. Savader, 13-MJ-359 (E.D.N.Y. May 7, 2013), Magistrate Judge Gary R. Brown denied bail to Adam Savader because of the nature of his crimes (cyberstalking and internet extortion) and due to the "weaponized" nature of the cache of compromising pictures the defendant possesses. The court's reference to weaponization derived from the fact that the images of the 15 victims were in c

  • NSA releases 642-page Internet research guide
  • The National Security Agency recently released a 642-page guide titled "Untangling The Web: A Guide To Internet Research" under a Freedom of Information Act request. As the major purpose of the guide is to "help you understand how to use the Internet more efficiently," there isn't much in the document worth noting - perhaps made clear by the fact that the 642 pages are almost entirely unredacted

  • Breaking: Fed. judge denies motions to suppress in Rigmaiden; 4th Amendment, SCA case with Stingray use by FBI (Updated)
  • In United States v. Rigmaiden, No. 2:08-cr-00814-DGC (D. Ariz. May 8, 2013), a federal district judge in Arizona denied all of the defendant's motions to suppress. The motions were related to searches, the FBI's use of Stingray, access to stored communications and IP addresses, etc. It is long, but worth the read. An excerpt (relating to the Fourth Amendment argument): Given the unique circ
