Sharyl Attkisson's computers compromised
Politico ^ | 5/21/13 | Dylan Byers

Posted on 05/21/2013 10:01:15 AM PDT by Thane_Banquo

Sharyl Attkisson, the Emmy-award winning CBS News investigative reporter, says that her personal and work computers have been compromised and are under investigation.

"I can confirm that an intrusion of my computers has been under some investigation on my end for some months but I'm not prepared to make an allegation against a specific entity today as I've been patient and methodical about this matter," Attkisson told POLITICO on Tuesday. "I need to check with my attorney and CBS to get their recommendations on info we make public."

She should use a VM machine with the USB shared to a Wireless USB network FOB.

Install a linux install like Ubuntu, then set the VM to share the USB, then plug the wireless USB fob and disable the USB device on the host OS.

when are the GOP the normal minded people and the corrupt media going to wake up and understand and call this administration out on the way they break the law.

This is Communist China, wiretapping, spying, lying, cover ups, letting Americans die, attacking and destroying people who disagree.

This is not America and people had better start saying what the hell is going on instead of being silenced and remaining scared.

Our side won’t talk social issues which the left holy grail, they are infatuated with social issues and because we have so many cowards on our side on talk radio, in the stupid party the left has and is changing family, marriage, laws, adoptions, even immigration all based on their perversion with anal sex or strap on sex for those who hate men and yet pretend they are a man

oh dear, it must be national security , nothing to do with the Govt spying , wiretapping, and taking away freedoms , free speech and breaking the law.

No worries the stupid party has been silenced on social issues and now the Govt is breaking the law , they are silent because they the administration said it’s the stupid party playing politics, nothing to do with the truth and corruption

OK, it happened here. And those of you who cheered on the Patriot Act circus have no complaints.

If you have young children and aren't at least considering another country, you are a negligent parent.

If I was a reporter, rather than installing more protection, I’d set up an unprotected computer loaded with software to identify intruders, and then type “Benghazi,” “Obama,” “scandal,” Hillary,” “patriot,” “Tea Party,” etc. to my heart’s content ... The results might be interesting ...

We recently were provided one of the weakest and silliest reactions to the terrible IRS/DOJ treachery on record.

The president of CBS certainly became aware of the external attacks on his empoyee coupled with the disgusting news of similar episodes elsewhere.

He mouthed some words about advocacy but did nothing. He is between the rock of the IRS/DOJ/ democrat propagandist and the hard place of being American.

He is so far shown to be a total loser

One thing that concerns me is the supposed hacker group anonymous has been really really quiet about this spying and hacking, you would think they would be raising a stink about this... Instead they are quiet, it tells me the admin now somewhat “owns” them....

If the GOP does not call for special prosecutors, their donors will dry up. If zero gets away with this stuff, and that’s a near guarantee without a special prosecutor, the next IRS audit, DOJ or EPA investigation will be of good old run of the mill Republican donors, big and small.
If the Republicans call you for a donation or you get a mail solicitation, tell them to take you off the list until a special prosecutor is appointed. Nothing will change unless 0bama administration feels the heat.
Meanwhile, I think that snail mail is probably the safest way to send information now that the Feds have those massive computer databases of electronic data transmissions.
