Kakkar Deputy Chief, International Narcotics, Money Laundering, and Racketeering Section Central District of California on detail as the Resident Legal Advisor, Gulf Region Joseph Wheatley Former Deputy Director Joint Task Force Vulcan The Department of Justice (Department), since its establishment over 150 years ago, remains steadfast in its mission to “ensure [the] fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.”1 To carry out that mission, it must keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of criminal activity and the various ways that technology shapes that landscape—including the facilitation, prevention, investigation, and prosecution of criminal activity. Moreover, it must ensure that the nature and approach of its litigation manages such challenges. This issue of the Department of Justice Journal of Federal Law and Practice (DOJ Journal) addresses some of the dynamic technological challenges that federal prosecutors, agents, analysts, paralegals, and other personnel face on a regular basis around the country, from investigations to litigation. Building off the May 2020 issue of the DOJ Journal, which focused on developing eLitigation skills and proficiencies to keep pace with ever-advancing technology in the context of producing electronic discovery and the entire lifecycle of electronic evidence,2 this issue turns the perspective towards technology-based criminal activities and technology-based strategies and tools for investigating and prosecuting cases. Articles in this issue focus on, among other things, the impact that the fast-changing fields of cryptocurrency and FinTech have on our traditional understanding of best practices for prosecuting bad actors. Authors in this issue have also explored constitutional and statutory issues that lie at the heart of criminal investigations involving advanced technology, from remote search warrants to drones to 1 About DOJ, U.S. DEP’T OF JUST., https://www.justice.gov/about (last visited Apr. 26, 2021). 2 68 DOJ J.

Finally, this issue also covers some of the practical issues that arise in every litigation, but more so in the technological context, such as unique issues in extraditions and the attorney–client privilege. These articles, drawing from the institutional knowledge and experience of our colleagues, provide timely and valuable insights and guidance about dynamic technological issues that impact the Department and its mission every day. The articles reflect that the Department has successfully addressed new technological challenges in a variety of areas and is prepared to tackle new ones going forward. 2 DOJ Journal of Federal Law and Practice May 2021 Overcoming Technical Obfuscation: NITs and Remote Search Warrants Puneet V.

Introduction The Government’s efforts to contain child pornographers, terrorists and the like cannot remain frozen in time; the Government must be allowed to utilize its own advanced technology to keep pace with our world’s ever-advancing technology and novel criminal methods.1 With criminal activity increasingly leveraging technology—from the darknet to encrypted platforms of communication to cryptocurrency2— law enforcement has utilized more advanced measures of obtaining evidence and uncovering criminal activity that respects and remains consistent with the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In the past year alone, criminal actors have used advanced technology to 1 United States v. Matish, 193 F. Supp. 3d 585, 622 (E.D. Va. 2016). 2 See generally U.S. DEP’T OF JUST., OFF.

May 2021 DOJ Journal of Federal Law and Practice 3 further—and conceal their involvement in—child exploitation,3 cybercrime,4 drug trafficking,5 and terrorist finance.6 To unmask these criminal activities and actors, investigators and prosecutors have obtained search warrants in various scenarios for permission to deploy technological measures, known as network investigative techniques (“NIT warrants”) or “remote search warrants,” to remotely search computers or other accounts without the consent or knowledge of the users. This article provides a brief explanation about the practical applications of NIT warrants and remote search techniques; the venues where they may be obtained, made clear by a recent amendment of Rule 41; legal challenges before this amendment; recent applications of these techniques; and legal challenges they may face based on historical context.7 II. About NITs, remote search techniques, and their uses NIT warrants and remote searches are two recurring applications of Rule 41 in investigations where criminal actors attempt to obfuscate their identities and presence. NITs have been used over the past decade in significant criminal investigations. NITs allow investigators to ascertain more information about computers—and the individuals using computers—connected to a network by deploying a code or program to the computers. For example, NITs can obtain information about a computer’s IP address, 3 E.g., Press Release, U.S. Dep’t of Justice, South Korean National and Hundreds of Others Charged Worldwide in the Takedown of the Largest Darknet Child Pornography Website, Which was Funded by Bitcoin (Oct. 16, 2019). 4 E.g., Press Release, U.S. Dep’t of Justice, Six Russian GRU Officers Charged in Connection with Worldwide Deployment of Destructive Malware and Other Disruptive Actions in Cyberspace (Oct. 19, 2020). 5 E.g., Press Release, U.S. Dep’t of Justice, Alleged Southern California Narcotics Traffickers Among Those Charged in International Crackdown Targeting Darknet Dealers (Sept. 22, 2020). 6 E.g., Press Release, U.S. Dep’t of Justice,

  • ON the EFFECTIVE USE of PROXY WARFARE by Andrew Lewis Peek Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 © 2021 Andrew Peek All Rights Reserved
    ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE by Andrew Lewis Peek A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 2021 Andrew Peek All rights reserved Abstract This dissertation asks a simple question: how are states most effectively conducting proxy warfare in the modern international system? It answers this question by conducting a comparative study of the sponsorship of proxy forces. It uses process tracing to examine five cases of proxy warfare and predicts that the differentiation in support for each proxy impacts their utility. In particular, it proposes that increasing the principal-agent distance between sponsors and proxies might correlate with strategic effectiveness. That is, the less directly a proxy is supported and controlled by a sponsor, the more effective the proxy becomes. Strategic effectiveness here is conceptualized as consisting of two key parts: a proxy’s operational capability and a sponsor’s plausible deniability. These should be in inverse relation to each other: the greater and more overt a sponsor’s support is to a proxy, the more capable – better armed, better trained – its proxies should be on the battlefield. However, this close support to such proxies should also make the sponsor’s influence less deniable, and thus incur strategic costs against both it and the proxy. These costs primarily consist of external balancing by rival states, the same way such states would balance against conventional aggression. Conversely, the more deniable such support is – the more indirect and less overt – the less balancing occurs.

In this four-part series, Inman News offers a look at new tools available for Realtors, including online communication plug-ins, online video and single-property Web site marketing. Maybe you haven't used Jaxtr, Jott, Meebo, Pinger and Twitter. In fact, maybe you haven't heard of them. They are not: alien planets discovered on "Star Trek"; nicknames for illicit pharmaceuticals; new cable television networks; or Pokemon pals. They are: new ways to communicate. Instant-messaging, text-messaging, voice-messaging and e-mail-messaging technologies are a hotbed for communications mashups, and these companies among others are supplying the "always on" business of real estate with plenty of tools to instantly reach out and text, call, IM or e-mail someone at all hours. While these communication tools do offer more opportunities to generate leads and keep in touch with clients, some real estate professionals say that managing all of these communications channels can be a challenge and a time drain. Jim Duncan, a third-generation Realtor for Century 21 Manley in Charlottesville, Va., who maintains a blog at RealCentralVA.com and has amassed a collection of 13 e-mail addresses, four instant-messaging addresses and a voice-over-Internet account through Skype.

THE 2016 AMENDMENTS TO CRIMINAL RULE 41: NATIONAL SEARCH WARRANTS TO SEIZE CYBERSPACE, "PARTICULARLY' SPEAKING INTRODUCTION "One may know how to conquer without being able to do it."' George Orwell's dystopia, with the ever-watchful Big Brother, has seemingly become a reality with the recently passed amend- ments to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.2 Rule 41, governing searches and seizures, now permits magis- trate judges to authorize agents-under a single warrant-to "remotely access," and simultaneously search, copy and seize in- formation from an infinite number of unknown electronic devices in multiple districts anywhere in the country.' The unlimited ju- risdiction provision is triggered when a device's location is ob- scured through "technological means," or if agents are investigat- ing computer crimes in five or more districts4-regardless of whether the locations of the innumerable search targets are known.
