FBI snoops suspects' computers using Trojan horse:

The FBI has confirmed the existence of its latest Internet-eavesdropping, controversy-raising snooping device exotically code-named 'Magic Lantern'.
Magic Lantern is software that, once installed on the suspect's computer, will record every keystroke typed. The gathered keystrokes will then be analyzed by the FBI to extract passwords. The harvested passwords will be used by the FBI to access the suspect's email messages and other encrypted documents, or to gain access to other computers contacted by the suspect via the Internet.
