The FBI has begun quietly accessing hundreds of American computers hacked through Microsoft’s Exchange email program, removing malicious code that the hackers left behind.

Alan Butler, the president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a think tank that advocates for digital privacy, said that while the FBI appeared to be acting justly in this case, the Justice Department should be mindful with how it grants the agency that authority.

"There are significant risks with these techniques — such as unintended destruction of data or misuse of the tools by government agents — that demand close oversight," he said in an email. "It is important that courts strictly limit such orders and that there be public oversight of these activities after the fact."
