Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread

[Nice Guy Eddie 13507]

It’s not unheard of for non-critical systems to have shared accounts. It’s not advised, against IT policy and stupid. I’ve also seen it in circumstances when paying per user and it saves money. Once again, not a big deal in unimportant systems. I know IT auditors or admins would disagree but why are they allowing accounts that are named for a group? 

But stupid of her or anyone to log into an account for a former employer. On top of that, she drew attention to herself.

Her actions def do not warrant a guns drawn arrest. Someone on that side of the equation should lose their job.

I’m actually really torn on what to think about this lady and her skirmish with Desantis. He is a fucking turd, who has handled this whole thing horribly. On the other hand, this woman is an attention whore with a much higher opinion of herself than she should have.

She is basically an entry level data analyst who talks a big game about building a “system” for doing x, y, and z. She basically put a front-end on publicly gathered data. It probably took a few hours.

Although, she does really seem to rub Desantis the wrong way and she definitely didn’t deserve the guns drawn treatment from law enforcement. So I am rooting for her. Hopefully Desantis catches all kinds of shit from this.

Well, there's really no such thing as execution of a search warrant without weapons.  Drawn is optional, but frequently utilized for reasons already cited.

It would appear that yes, she accessed a computer without authorization, which is a crime in most jurisdictions.  And in Floriduh is a third degree felony, even if you don't damage anything, it's second degree if  you do.

Whole thing is bullshit and needs to be pled down or dismissed.  Also, Floriduh and probably most jurisdictions need to have another look at their computer crimes statutes.

I've got a long record of speaking out against LEO abuses of power, but this case isn't meeting that threshold for me - assuming the facts are as they've been reported.  You've got a disgruntled/angry former/fired government employee who is nonresponsive for 20 minutes.  This wasn't a door busting no knock raid where they are guns drawn from the get go.  I don't really fault them for assuming the lady might be irrational/armed/dangerous and being cautious.

I guess I'm confused as to what piece of information leads to them believe guns might be necessary. They are purportedly conducting a search warrant on a former female IT employee. As far as we know, she had no priors. No gun charges. No violent charges. We don't even know she has a parking ticket. They knock on the door and she doesn't answer. The officers said she hung up on them? They had to wait 20 minutes? That might warrant more aggressive knocking and verbal commands. Did I miss her threating violence or talk of a gun? She finally opened the door and they treated her as if she was hiding the one armed man. I just think our police force in general is way too militaristic. That being said, I understand that most humans are huge pieces of shit and you can never be too careful. I just think there might be some middle ground we might be missing.

Yep. It was built using a free downloadable template from the software company.  You literally just point it to your data tables and click publish. It's slightly more complex than making a pivot table in Excel.  A coworker built an exact replica of it that focused on community infections within our company footprint and tracked employee COVID cases in our office locations in a couple of hours.  90% of that time was getting the data organized. Configuring the dashboard took maybe 20 minutes.

Nice. I actually have a client who has thousands of field guys nationwide and wanted to build a similar dashboard internally for their workforce. Not my area of expertise so I showed their internal analyst in finance a bit about structuring their data to work with Tableau's map viz and sent them on their way. Not sure what came of it, but I think they got it stood up. It's neat to hear about similar initiatives.

[henrygandorf 29189]

according to the interview she gave last night, she says they only took her phone and her one laptop that she used to communicate her stats (and presumably to urge her former colleagues to step the fuck up and do something).  this seems a lot more like desantis trying to figure out who's undermining him and his efforts to deal with the virus, presuming that there are any, than trying to punish jones for her unauthorized login and warning blast.

on a separate note, there are plenty of reasons that newsom sucks, but give me the guy who tells 40mm people to be safe and then endangers himself/others at a birthday party, than the other way around.  lead by example and all that, but i'm gonna err on the side of safety, regardless of how fun it is to point out hypocrisy.

The search warrant says they traced the actual login to an IPV6 address assigned to her house. They fact that others had access to the login account doesn't change the fact that someone logged in _from her house_.

The gravamen of the offense is "unauthorized" access to a computer.

In most jurisdictions, that includes when you still have valid login credentials, but your authorization is revoked.

When the login credentials are publicly available, if that is true, it's pretty hard to argue that any access is unauthorized.

Still, while maybe all technically on the up and up, this is an example of very poor to politically motivated evil exercise of prosecutorial/law enforcement discretion.

So? The login credentials were publicly available to anyone and everyone.

Have officials checked to see how many other Floridians used those publicly available credentials? Have they executed search and arrest warrants and seized any other electronic devices?

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

The side story to all of this is the DeSantis appointee who served on the Judicial Nominating Commission resigning (that was mentioned earlier). He was a Republican veteran (now independent) who will now be replaced by someone DeSantis will vet to be much more simpatico to his power grubbing ways.

Assuming the credentials were publicly available then the state had better have some damning evidence showing the login and message originated from an IP address assigned to her computer.  If the IP doesn't fit you must acquit.

Hyperbole much?  I didn't make any comments about her guilt or innocence, only on the apparent validity of the search warrant.  People showing outrage at the search of her house are ignoring the fact that the search warrant looks solid and is very clear.

It's in the search warrant.  The IP address was easily traced to Comcast who pointed to her home address. 

If she'd gone to a coffee shop (or used an open computer at a library) and logged in she would have made it much harder and given herself some plausible deniability.  But she seems to have done this from her house and made it really easy to trace it back to her.    The Gov has her devices and the likely hood they will be able to find something one of her devices to confirm the login from a device she own is pretty good.   

If she has denied sending the Alert as someone upthread suggests, I would expect her to change her tune shortly to something like "I did send it, but it was an open system".

Like it or not;  agree with her on not;  she made a mistake and crossed a line. I have no idea how serious of an offense it is under local law, but people need to drop the faux-outrage over the warrant.

If someone logged in a Travis County/Austin computer system as sent a text message to 1700 city employees saying "Masks suck".  Would anyone be surprise if the police executed a warrant a week later?  I would pretty much expect that.

The point being made above is that if access to the system is fully publicly available, then that is functionally authorization given to the entire public.  If you create a public portal to a gov't cite, you can't charge someone with unauthorized access for entering that portal.

Now, I don't have all the facts here, but I am noting that there may be a real problem here.

And come on, we all know EXACTLY why she in particular had an armed raid on her house.  Armed agents of the state are seizing on any excuse to exact political retribution.  It stinks, it's banana republic bullshit.  But, it's par for the course in America, 2020.

It wasn't her "in particular" that had armed officers execute the search warrant.   This is is the US, pretty much all LEO are armed.

General PSA - While cops are serving a warrant is not a time to argue, play games, or make any political grandstanding.  Cops are by-and-large stupid and trigger happy, and they are allowed to pull their gun at their discretion.

No, what made her in particular singled out was not that the cops were armed, but that they were dispatched at all for a chickenshit pretext.  It was politically motivated, and eveyrone with an IQ above room temp knows it.

Dear Honest Citizen,

A search warrant has been issued for all your computer-type equipment.  Please bring all your computers and cell phones to the local Police Office so we can run a forensics search on them looking for confirming evidence.  Please take extra care to make sure you don't break, smash, or reformat any equipment, and be extra careful not to delete anything like cookies, or browser history.

Thank you,
