Report: DNC rejected FBI to look into servers

Security experts say it's common for lawyers for private organizations to turn down requests from law enforcement for access to servers. Comey has publicly bemoaned that fact, wishing aloud that companies would trust the FBI more.

A source with experience in both FBI cyber investigations and private sector forensics said over the past five years or so, it's become common to let well-established companies handle forensics -- even after the FBI comes in.

Forensic procedure involves documentation, allowing the FBI to focus on other aspects of the work. In issues with sensitive information, such as those involving email breaches of high-profile victims, the FBI occasionally prefers not to ever have data that could be mishandled.

Are you really surprised organizations don't give the FBI access to its entire server history?

Report: DNC rejected FBI to look into servers

I didn't think there was a choice. You mean if the FBI wants my computer for evidence of a major crime, I don't have to give it to them and I can just "tell" them whats in there??? Kool! Thanks for the info!

I can see why the DNC wouldn't, after all the corruption that was exposed. There's no telling what some agent would find.

And they lied by saying the FBI never asked for the servers, as reported in the article.

Are you surprised the government is investigating the hacking of private organizations and individual, affiliated with the left after an election they lose, but never lifted a finger when Sony, Chase, Yahoo, various government agencies, etc were hacked over the past 8 years?

What "cyber" agencies do you believe have jurisdiction?

I wouldn't hand it over either. Certainly not with Trump taking over in a few days.

Well he mentioned government agencies being hacked in his post so uhhh....

Okay. And the question remains the same. Who do you believe has jurisdiction over this time of crime or illicit activity?

“The FBI repeatedly stressed to DNC officials the necessity of obtaining direct access to servers and data, only to be rebuffed until well after the initial compromise had been mitigated,” the official said.

So they held out?

"In nine out of 10 cases, we don't need access, we don't ask for access, we don't get access. That's the normal [procedure],” Leo Taddeo, a former special agent in charge of the cyber division of the FBI’s New York office, told The Hill. “It's extraordinarily rare for the FBI to get access to the victim's infrastructure because we could mess it up," he added. "We usually ask for the logs and images, and 99 out of a hundred times, that's sufficient.”

Seems there's more to the story. Any other military guys with access to the report who might weigh in here?

Anyone?

If only there were a government agency that collects data from major internet cables between countries that could provide the data to the FBI.
