Unfortunately, at the time of the raid, our admin was troubleshooting an issue and working with a backup copy of the Kolektiva.social database. This backup, dated from the first week of May 2023, was in an unencrypted state when the raid occurred and it was seized, along with everything else.
Oh the FBI just happened to visit when they unencrypted the database? How convenient!
The FBI surveils targets prior to executing raids. It's possible they deduced that there was some useful information available on the target's laptop and acted in such a way to capture it easily.
