When the cameras where shutoff and then turned back on in MAL, this easily gave the FBI information needed to identify and document all technologies on this network. Specifically, when the cameras were turned back on, all of the IP addresses which are cameras would easily have been identified.
Since the cameras were potentially the largest network segment of MAL, the FBI could by process of elimination document the cameras and then any other connections.
That information could be used to identify all other network assets connected to MAL such as Computers, phones, printers, servers, and even access control system information. Given the risk of the FBI and others to have this information I have the following suggestions.
