 Wednesday, July 27, 2016 in Security  No Comments |  | A judge has ordered Yahoo to explain how it recovered deleted emails in a drug case.
On the face of it, Yahoo shouldn't have been able to do so since "Yahoo! is not able to search for or produce deleted emails," according to its policies.
Yet somehow, the company handed over 6 months of messages that conspirators in a drug trafficking case thought had been deleted.
As Motherboard reports, defense lawyers are speculating that the emails were collected through real-time interception or a National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance program.
US Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James granted the defense's motion for discovery in an order filed on Wednesday in a San Francisco court.
