2017.08.02

EFTA_00114264
EFTA01262897

Any items or records needed to access the data stored on any seized or copied
computer devices or storage media, including but not limited to any physical keys, encryption
devices, or records of login credentials, passwords, private encryption keys, or similar information.
2.
Any items or records that may facilitate a forensic examination of the computer
devices or storage media, including any hardware or software manuals or other information
concerning the configuration of the seized or copied computer devices or storage media.
3.
Any evidence concerning the identities or locations of those persons with access to,
control over, or ownership of the seized or copied computer devices or storage media.
B. Search and Seizure of Electronically Stored Information
As set forth in Section A to this attachment, this warrant authorizes the search of the Subject
Premises for any computer devices and storage media that may contain any electronically stored
information falling within the categories set forth below:
4.
Any documents or communications with or regarding victims or potential victims
of the Subject Offenses;
5.
Any photographs of victims or potential victims of the Subject Offenses;
6.
Any nude, partially nude, or sexually suggestive photographs of individuals who
appear to be teenage girls, or younger;
7.
Records or other items that evidence ownership, control, or use of, or access to
devices, storage media, and related electronic equipment used to access, transmit, or store
information relating to the Subject Offenses, including, but not limited to, sales receipts,
warranties, bills for Internet access, handwritten notes, registry entries, configuration files, saved

8.
Any child erotica, defined as suggestive visual depictions of nude minors that do
not constitute child pornography as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2256(8).
C. Review of ESI
Law enforcement personnel (including, in addition to law enforcement officers and agents,
and depending on the nature of the ESI and the status of the investigation and related proceedings,
attorneys for the government, attorney support staff, agency personnel assisting the government in
this investigation, and outside technical experts under government control) will create a forensic
image of the Subject Devices (if practicable) and review the ESI contained therein for information
responsive to the warrant, that is, for the materials specified in Section B of this Attachment.
In conducting this review, law enforcement personnel may use various techniques to
determine which files or other ESI contain evidence or fruits of the Subject Offenses. Such
techniques may include, for example:

2017.08.02
SDNY_GM_00000181
EFTA_00114265
EFTA01262898

• surveying directories or folders and the individual files they contain (analogous to
looking at the outside of a file cabinet for the markings it contains and opening a drawer
believed to contain pertinent files);
• conducting a file-by-file review by "opening" or reading the first few "pages" of such
files in order to determine their precise contents (analogous to performing a cursory
examination of each document in a file cabinet to determine its relevance);
• "scanning" storage areas to discover and possibly recover recently deleted data or
deliberately hidden files; and
• performing electronic keyword searches through all electronic storage areas to
determine the existence and location of data potentially related to the subject matter of
the investigation®; and
• reviewing metadata, system information, configuration files, registry data, and any
other information reflecting how, when, and by whom the computer was used.
Law enforcement personnel will make reasonable efforts to search only for files,
documents, or other electronically stored information within the categories identified in Section
II.A of this Attachment. However, law enforcement personnel are authorized to conduct a
complete review of all the ESI from seized devices or storage media if necessary to evaluate its
contents and to locate all data responsive to the warrant.
• Keyword searches alone are typically inadequate to detect all relevant data. For one thing,
contain the keywords being searched.
