Its name may have changed from Carnivore to DCS-1000, but the controversial cybersnooping software used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation is still on the hunt for information, and likely is scouring vast amounts of Internet communication. In fact, Carnivore probably is chomping on more data than ever as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks in the United States. Following those events, it was widely reported that the FBI (news - web sites) installed its e-mail snooping program on several Internet service provider (ISP) networks around the nation. But a recent court order may mean that more information will be revealed about how Carnivore works and what it is being used for, according to privacy advocates.
