I call bull. Even 3 GB is a fair amount of data to get undetected and to pull that off would require being able to access the laptop for several hours and that's assuming the size is a typo. If it really is 3 TB, then the laptop would have been on and running unattended for several days. In addition, most organizations with security concerns have custom activity recording software that is controlled remotely. So to pull this off they had to have had access to a laptop unattended for several days, counter any tracking system the laptop actually has, and reinstate it without any trace of their activity on the laptop or any server point along the connection path. Odds of that happening are so small you need an electron microscope to find it.
Let's not forget that, if the file is pure text, that you would get at
least around 100,000 A4 PAGES of text per GB, which translates to over 100,000,000 pages of text per TB - possibly more depending on various factors & differing calculations. Even if it was meant to be 3 GB and not 3 TB, I too am calling bull on this one.
Unless they can come up with
irrefutable proof that the FBI had the numbers (which would be required in a court of law), I ain't gonna believe these guys for a second.
