The FBI now says that it used the tool unwittingly and that Riva Networks misled the bureau. Once the agency discovered in late April that Riva had used the spying tool on its behalf, Christopher A. Wray, the FBI director, terminated the contract, according to U.S. officials.

Not a great look, but I’m going to give the FBI a benefit of a doubt here. Tool was declared a security risk recently, and one of their third-party contractors didn’t get the memo.

Wray didn’t fuck around and just terminated the contract for wasting his goddamn time. I can’t really see a better outcome here.
