Posted on 06/14/2013 7:58:50 AM PDT by sunmars

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.”

More to come on this.

lets see where the trail leads back to, if any?

Government agency - three letters? Known for responding in the affirmative to Verizon’s “can you hear me now” ad?

I hate being cynical but I don't know why I get the impression that the "news" media will not rally around one of their own, but will actually turn on her and say she deserved it because she dared to challenge Dear Leader, their selected boy-king wannabe.

I wonder if this is what it felt like to live in the 1770's.......

The LSM is about to realize that the totalitarian government they have supported doesn’t trust ANYONE, not even their obedient lapdog media.

Who, then, are the suspects? I think of two....Obama political operation and CBS leadership, itself. CBS, up until about 3 weeks ago, Atkinson was published only once in 5 months....a determination by CBS producers.

We need a graphic of an SS-officer or a “matrix-style” (Mr. Smith) enforcer, cell-phone to ear, asking, “Do you hear me NOW!”

Probably easy to grab an advert of the “Verizon geek” and swap some heads and attire.

To the Managements of CBS and your subservient counterparts at NBCABCCNNMSNBCNYTWAPO:

BHO has drawn a line in the sand and dared you to cross it.

Are you mice or men? Are you passive/obedient/submissive sycophants or do you have even an ounce of true journalism left within you?

When she first brought this up CBS was somewhat skeptical.
Not now ..
