MSNBC: “The FBI is developing software
capable of inserting a computer virus onto a
suspect’s machine and obtaining encryption
keys, a source familiar with the project told
MSNBC.com. The software, known as “Magic

been scrambled, a tactic often employed by
criminals to hide information and evade law
enforcement.”
