CBS News Confirms Multiple Breaches Of Sharyl Attkisson's Computer
wapo:
CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson revealed in May that her computer had been compromised. When asked about the situation, CBS News responded with a statement that it was conducting an investigation.That investigation has reached the following conclusions, according to CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair:
A cyber security firm hired by CBS News has determined through forensic analysis that Sharyl Attkisson’s computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions late in 2012. Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson’s accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data.
This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion.
CBS News is taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access.
The Attkisson-computer story surfaced when Attkisson appeared on a Philadelphia radio program amid the news about the Justice Department’s snooping on reporters. WPHT 1210 host Chris Stigall asked Attkisson whether she’d been the victim of any such tactics. She responded, “Well, um, I’m not ready to fully speak publicly about some things that have affected me because I’m trying to be methodical and careful about what I say, but there has been an issue in my house and there’s been an issue with my computers that’s gone on for quite a long time that we’re looking into.”
The CBS News reporter was then asked whether her issue related to the experience of Fox News reporter James Rosen, who’d been the target of Justice Department snooping. She responded: “Well, I don’t know details of his — I only know what I’ve read but I think there could be some relationship between these types of things and what’s happened to me.”
The Justice Department issued this statement not long after Attkisson’s claims:
"To our knowledge, the Justice Department has never compromised Ms. Attkisson’s computers, or otherwise sought any information from or concerning any telephone, computer, or other media device she may own or use."

but it's her investigative work on benghazi that broke the back
Sharyl Attkisson's computers compromised - POLITICO.com
ms attkisson really blew out three bombshells outta benghazi
the first appeared on may 5, it simply foretold what the 3 whistleblowing witnesses were gonna say to evil issa
mark hicks, acting mission chief upon the death of stevens, would say they were all screaming for help, send reinforcements, only to be left "helpless and abandoned"
"what about aviano?" the besieged ambassador begged
"no"
hicks testified that "everyone in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the get go"
mark thompson, asst secty for counterterrorism, told the interrogators he and his csg, counterterrorsim security group, the vehicle designed especially "to react to these kinds of things," was locked out of the response (what response?) as well as the (partial, therefore, by definition) post-incident review conducted by the arb
hicks, thompson and "others whose accounts are at odds with official government statements about benghazi have reported feeling marginalized, intimidated and/or subjected to threats of retaliation"
attkisson's second scoop was printed the next day, may 6
it reported the stand down order issued to lt col gibson as the response team was loading that lonely c130 in tripoli
"in stark contrast to assertions from the obama administration"
the phone call said, "you can't go, you do not have the authority to go"
then, very strangely, ms atkisson was contacted (may 17) by some half dozen members of the white house staff, who whispered to her "on condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments"
it was "incompetence rather than malice or coverup," they
assured her, that led to the stunning series of failures and misfortunes which befell our forces in africa in the weeks and months preceding the attack, the 8 hours of violence themselves, as well as the 9 months which have ensued since
"we're the idiots," was the white house word, passed on to the public by the spied upon reporter from the luce group
we shoulda dispatched fest, owns up the admin, we shoulda "convened" thompson's csg, our in-extremis force shouldn't have been training in croatia (on 9-11), we shouldn't have said spontaneous protest, shouldn't have blamed the video, shoulda released the email chain that resulted in scrubbing the truth ("terrorists with ties to al qaeda," "jihad" and "ansar al sharia") while leaving in the lie ("spontaneous demonstrations")...
except the self described "idiots" have still NOT released that email chain, have they?
do you find obama's behavior a bit bizarre?
"it was a mistake not using the word terrorism," they whisper to attkisson so she can shout it to the world
the put upon reporter: "even today no one will say, on the record or even off, who was at the deputies' meeting on sept 15," the day before susan-rice-sunday, "where the talking points were dramatically pared down"
why?
why not?
