Prosecutors seeking Court order to decrypt data

Posted by Vallhund on 2012-January-07 16:44:06 EST, Saturday

Beyond the log-in screen of Ramona Fricosu's laptop computer lies what federal prosecutors say could be the key evidence in the bank-fraud case against her.

There's only one problem: Prosecutors don't know her password.

Thus, in an extraordinarily rare move, prosecutors in Denver are seeking a court order forcing Fricosu to unlock the computer so that they can obtain files they would use to try to convict her and her ex-husband.
