The FBI bought multiple hacking tools for $250,000. Despite that, the FBI says it can't find any more records about the tools.

The FOIA request was for records related to the FBI’s purchase of multiple hacking tools for $250,000 from anti-child abuse charity The Innocent Lives Foundation. This purchase was initially included in a public U.S. government database that lists what agencies are buying. After I reported on that purchase, the listing was removed from the database.

There will be a lot of this sort of shenanigans over the next four years.
