A few days ago we had a submission here on SN about the FBI's claim on how it located the Silk Road's servers. Some researchers have now opined that the FBI's claim may not be accurate and suggested that they may have achieved their means in less that legal ways. One suggestion includes exploiting known bugs to discover the server's IP address.

If this is true, it would mean the FBI may have participated in potentially unlawful actions to help them close the case.
