Here's an exerpt taken from that page:
"MAGIC LANTERN installs so-called “keylogging” software on a suspect’s machine that is capable of capturing keystrokes typed on a computer. By tracking exactly what a suspect types, critical encryption key information can be gathered, and then transmitted back to the FBI, according to the source, who requested anonymity.
The virus can be sent to the suspect via e-mail — perhaps sent for the FBI by a trusted friend or relative. The FBI can also use common vulnerabilities to break into a suspect’s computer and insert Magic Lantern, the source said.
Magic Lantern is one of a series of enhancements currently being developed for the FBI’s Carnivore project, the source said, under the umbrella project name of Cyber Knight. "
So, I suggest you all keep your business address separate from normal address, and dont accept any unknowns on your business address, and make sure you have your firewall set up.
