The FBI is reportedly using an e-mail worm to capture computer
passwords. The Magic Lantern worm is a part of the Cyber Knight
computer surveillance program, which allows the FBI to secretly
install the eavesdropping software via the Internet in order to record
every keystroke a person makes on their PC.
