Last week, a Massachusetts judge threw out evidence obtained via a piece of malware in the FBI’s mass hack of visitors to a dark web child pornography site. On Monday, a judge recommended that evidence should also be suppressed in another, similar case.
The new recommendation relates to a case brought by Scott Fredrick Arterbury, who was arrested in November 2015 in Oklahoma on suspicion of possession of child pornography.
The case was brought forward following Operation Pacifier, the FBI’s investigation into dark web child pornography site Playpen.
