CBS REPORTER SHARYL ATTKISSON: I THINK I KNOW WHO HACKED MY COMPUTER
TPNN - TEA PARTY NEWS NETWORK ^ | June 18, 2013 | Matthew Burke

Posted on 06/18/2013 7:43:50 AM PDT by SaveOurRepublicFromTyranny

CBS News reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, one of the very few real reporters left in the mainstream media, appeared on Monday’s O’Reilly Factor, telling Bill O’Reilly that she thinks she knew who hacked her computer (scroll down for video). In the interview, Attkisson begins by explaining that both her personal computer, as well as her CBS work computer would mysteriously turn on in the middle of the night, even though she’d shut them down...

And of course, being an MSM type, she didn’t quite know how to remove power (both AC source and the battery) so that it wouldn’t turn on at all.

Silly liberal, science is for grownups.

They tried to warn her nicely, now she has forced them to go the Foster Brown route.

the WaPo news media blog’s lead is that Sharyl Attkisson is on a “media tour”. NOT that the government is destroying it’s own citizen’s privacy.

Yet she won’t say who. Sounds more like hype for an upcoming story than any real revelation on her part.

As pointed out above, she isn’t a lib.

But one would think as journalist no doubt dealing with confidental information she should at least turn off her wireless and unplug her internet connection. Or, is there technology that could step around that?

Only if you have wake on lan enabled in the bios. What probably happened was her PC was compromised when it was running and they used a tool to enable it from Windows.

The same person who glued down her caps-lock key?

Sounds like paranoia to me. She probably has software that just updates itself on different cycles and her computer was set up to wake using LAN...heck antivirus software can make a computer look like someone is accessing it if it runs a scan. Now if she had it set up for remote access that’s a whole ‘nother ball game...

It’s just Windows being confused with Sleep and hibernation

Hmmmm.. Could be lots of culprits here, but whoever it is they were doing it on orders from 0bama to shut down her advances on the Benghazi story. The intrusion came from a DOJ or NSA hacker, possibly the same person accessing James Rosen’s computer and E-mails. Perhaps there’s a warrant to access Sharyl’s computer, just like the conjured-up one for James Rosen’s?

She is one of the few true quality journalists in the MSM.

Not ALL the MSM is in the tank for Obama, just 99.6% of them.

That sounds like a weird antivirus. I have Norton and it never does that.

And .. if you do set up for remote access, where would you find that within IE ..?? I noticed the word “Everybody” in a menu once, but now I can’t find it again - so I can explore what it means.
