Are you nine years old? Geez. Some people like macs, some like windows, some like linux. What is it to you? Why are you hijacking an important thread with such fatuous rubbish?

It isn't and still isn't. The memory locations for email are non-executable. There is no way possible for anything in email to execute for-q-clinton. I am familiar with the code and architecture of the Mac. YOU ARE NOT.

Many of the best minds in the world have been trying to do what you claim for 15 years and NOT succeeding. That is history. I really do not believe that suddenly someone has found a way to install software through email on a Mac. . . not with the protections in place. . . and not without the cooperation of someone at the keyboard. And if they have someone at the keyboard, they don't need email.

The fact they had to destroy 48 hours of log-in records shows they have somehow created a user on her computer. . . not an email malware. That, again implies physical access with an administrator access. My guess is she has been operating as an administrator. and seldom shut her user partition down.

Where are her backups? Her TimeMachine backups. These are dead easy to manage and she wasn't using them? Stupid user shows me that she was not protecting her computer. Her password was probably "Password", or her birthday.

I can, however, believe what Sheryl Attkisson said about someone breaking into her home and going through her computer. Apple Macs HAVE been compromised with physical access. That is certainly possible. Once they have had that kind of access, and they are famous for that kind of operation, they they have access. I also believe she could have been using a Windows install on her Mac because CBS issues Windows laptops to their employees and she may have installed Parallels or VMWare to make things easier by having Microsoft Word, Excell, and Powerpoint on both with the same versions. That opens a lot of doors.

What I cannot believe is that it was done with an "innocuous" email. That is not at all possible.

Exactly how much of an idiot do you want to look like, for-q-clinton???

And an inspection revealed that an extra fiber-optics line had been installed in Attkisson’s home without her knowledge.
I did not say a physical hacking was not possible and if they installed a freaking unauthorized fiber optic line into her home, you idiot, they had MORE then just physical access to her computer; they had free access to everything at her house! There was no simple remote "hacking" by an stupid "innocuous" email. They installed it manually. Now YOU give it a rest.
