Sorry about not getting back to you on the previous thread. . .
Sharyl Attkisson may have testified about her computer being hacked remotely, but it turned out it was actually a physical local hack. When forensic IT specialists got ahold of her computers and examined her laptops, both her CBS Windows computer and her Apple MacBook Pro, and her home iMac, they found that except for the Windows machine which HAD been remotely hacked, the two Macs had been cracked open and had HARDWARE added to them. Both had extra chips inserted into them. The keyboards on each had extra key logging chips and the logic boards had clip on chips. Her home had had a spurious optical cable run to it and both Macs connected to the optical cable line wirelessly to connect to an Internet Server that also intercepted her usual internet service. Funny thing was she got better and faster internet service through the optical cable than she got through her usual service. But it was there for the benefit of what ever government agency put it in. They ALSO hid some top secret government files in some images by steganography in her computers. . . no doubt to be able to arrest her and convict her of espionage later. But it was done by breaking and entering her house.
She THOUGHT it was being done remotely but the original hack that allowed them to do it while she watched it, was done during the break in.
wow, I didn’t know that!!
WONDERFUL information. Hadn’t heard any of that and really appreciate the backyard gossip.
WOW WOW and WOW!
