When it comes to matters of justice, we’d all like to think that we can trust a lawyer, but an interesting case in Arkansas suggests that may not be such a wise idea:

When Matthew Campbell of the Pinnacle Law Firm in North Little Rock – currently representing three police whistleblowers – received an external hard drive via Federal Express from a law enforcement attorney, he claims he found an unusual surprise on the device – malware.

“Something didn’t add up in the way they approached it, so I sent it to my software guy first,” Campbell said to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. “I thought ‘I’m not plugging that into my computer,’ so I sent it to [a software expert] to inspect.”
