Investigators seize lawyer's computer from Milwaukee County Children's Court

IT'S HAPPENING!

Authorities this week took computer equipment from the office of a lawyer who provides guardian ad litem services for children at Milwaukee County Children's Court.

Investigators served the search warrant on the office Michael J. Vruno, the chief staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee's office at the Vel R. Phillips Juvenile Justice Center in Wauwatosa, which provides contracted guardian ad litem services to the county.

Vruno, 67, who has worked for Legal Aid for more than 30 years, resigned his position, said Michael Gonring, executive director of the Legal Aid Society.

"We view this as a personnel matter," Gonring said, adding that Vruno has denied any wrongdoing.

Gonring said Legal Aid is cooperating with the district attorney's office investigation. The district attorney's office said only that it would not confirm or deny investigations.

Vruno did not immediately return phone messages Friday.

Milwaukee County Chief Judge Maxine White said Friday she had no information, no knowledge and no comment about the search warrant, or the concerns that it could involve a child pornography investigation.

She said she did not expect the seizures to interrupt any guardian ad litem or other services at Children's Court.

The county pays Legal Aid about $2.2 million annually to provide guardian ad litem services. The county provides both office space and equipment, including computers, to Legal Aid at Children's Court as part of the contract.

Guardians ad litem represent the best interests of children involved in parental rights terminations, some custody and placement actions in family court, juvenile guardianships and Children In need of Protection or Services, or CHIPS, actions.

"Oh I was talking to the reference to their installing the specialized router to gather everyone’s cell communications at the factory"

"The clear evidence of having wiretapped Tripp corroborates the other wiretapping allegation"

"Wondering if Tesla told all those blue collar workers at the concert about the alleged Stingray router it is alleged by Hansen was installed by Tesla’s ex Uber security people at the Nev Gigafactory?"

TESLA USING STINGRAYS TO SPY ON EMPLOYEES? LIKE THE SWAMP IN DC

"may threaten U.S. national and economic security."

The Department of Homeland Security says it has identified suspected rogue cell tower simulators – popularly known as Stingrays – in Washington.

The U.S. government has acknowledged the existence in Washington D.C. of what appear to be devices that could be used by foreign spies and criminals to track individual cellphones and intercept calls and messages, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

In a March 26 letter to Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the Department of Homeland Security admitted that it "has observed anomalous activity in the [Washington D.C. area] that appears to be consistent with International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) catchers." DHS added that it had not determined the type of devices in use or who might have been operating them, nor did it say how many it detected or where.

However, a DHS official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the agency's reply to Wyden has not been publicly released told AP that the devices were detected in a 90-day trial that began in January 2017 with equipment from a Las Vegas-based DHS contractor, ESD America. The CEO of ESD America, Les Goldsmith, said his company has a relationship with DHS but would not comment further.

The use of what are known as cellphone-site simulators by foreign powers has long been a concern, but American intelligence and law enforcement agencies — which use such eavesdropping equipment themselves — have been silent on the issue until now.

The agency's response, obtained by the AP from Wyden's office, suggests little has been done about such equipment, known popularly as Stingrays after a brand common among U.S. police departments. The Federal Communications Commission, which regulates the nation's airwaves, formed a task force on the subject four years ago, but it never produced a report and no longer meets regularly.

The devices work by tricking mobile devices into locking onto them instead of legitimate cell towers, revealing the exact location of a particular cellphone. More sophisticated versions can eavesdrop on calls by forcing phones to step down to older, unencrypted 2G wireless technology. Some attempt to plant malware.

They can cost anywhere from $1,000 to about $200,000. They are commonly the size of a briefcase; some are as small as a cellphone. They can be placed in a car next to a government building. The most powerful can be deployed in low-flying aircraft.

Thousands of members of the military, the NSA, the CIA, the FBI and the rest of the national-security apparatus live and work in the Washington area. The surveillance-savvy among them encrypt their phone and data communications and employ electronic countermeasures. But unsuspecting citizens could fall prey.

Wyden wrote DHS in November requesting information about unauthorized use of the cell-site simulators.

Christopher Krebs, the top official in the department's National Protection and Programs Directorate, noted in the letter that DHS lacks the equipment and funding to detect Stingrays even though their use by foreign governments "may threaten U.S. national and economic security." The department did report its findings to "federal partners" Krebs did not name. That presumably includes the FBI…….
