The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) recently released a public report from its Investigations Division titled “Procedural Reform Recommendation for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” In the report, the OIG explains how it had found FBI text messages that were “saved to a database” on mobile devices it had access to: the OIG discovered a database on the mobile devices containing a plain text repository of a substantial number of text messages sent and received by those devices. Neither ESOC [Enterprise Security Operations Center] nor the vendor of the application was aware of the existence, origin, or purpose of this database. The OIG outlined a number of recommended actions to be taken, one of which included amending “the existing FBI Policy Directive to formally designate an entity to be responsible for text message collection and retention.” Read the full investigation here Image Credit: Daily Mail 624 views
