I’m not saying she’s lying.

I’m trying to figure out how does one prevent a hack but knows where it came from and what it was going to place within the computer files.

Do I think other people get hacked? Sure I do.

But they either aren’t aware of the hack, or they prevent it, or they don’t announce it.

But if the FBI was going to place child porn into her husband’s computer, why hasn’t the FBI placed child porn into a dump load of people’s computers that are far more powerful and better known than Sharyl?

Sometimes when one’s star starts to dim, they need a power boost.
A computer hacking story that made her famous with some on the Right worked before, didn’t it?

Why don’t you go to her website and familiarize yourself with the background:

You ask “Why haven’t others been hacked?” How can you know they haven’t? How do you know you haven’t?

How can we be sure we haven’t? Seriously, how do you search your os for such files, and how do you permanently erase all traces if you do?

I am surprised that there are so many on FR that have no understanding of modern day technology.

I certainly am not qualified to teach a course, and I wish an expert would comment.

But for a clue: Pull up your command line. Type “top” and watch what happens.

Every contact or connection your computer is making is displayed in real time. You will see it changing constantly.

This is basic stuff and it will not tell you the FBI is tapping your machine, but it gives you an idea where the expert might start.

Each of the IP’s can then be backtracked to determine what organization or what computer made the connection.

Obviously the government spy agencies have a means of disguise, but there are organizations that can overcome that tactic.

Computer security is a big industry. There are people that know how to break into your computer and many others who know how to detect break-ins, defeat them and report them.

Obviously Atkisson has employed one for her defense.
