"The FBI obtained court approval to access vulnerable computers across the United States."

So, have you got it yet. In the interests of state security, security on your computer has been so diluted that anyone and his dog can get access to your so-called confidential records.

But, did you really believe that sitting behind an ISP, behind a 'basic' firewall (router), running Windows OS, with its firewall, and you would be safe if the FBIs/CIAs/NSAs of this world (USA, UK, China, etc.) want to take you down.. you stand a chance?

I assume that a more extreme step would be to notify the ISPs that serve specific IPs to cut them off. But that would break a lot of other things.
