Over the past several months, I've written a few times about the ongoing Wisconsin encryption case. Here are the posts for background.
- Defense suggests improprieties in Wisconsin encryption case
- Wisconsin federal magistrate reverses on forced production of decrypted data after government presents new evidence
- Wisconsin federal court forbids forced production of decrypted data on Fifth Amendment grounds
The feds had been unable to break the encryption on the defendant's hard drives, but a major breakthrough last week resulted in the defendant's arrest for child pornography.
According to the Journal Sentinel, the Assistant U.S. Attorney on the case announced that two of the nine hard drives had been decrypted. Those two drives contained "preteen children in images of sexual assault, bondage and bestiality."
The court has yet to decide whether the defendant will be ordered to decrypt the remaining hard drives.
The criminal complaint is available here.
