The government ghost in the machine.

Sharyl Attkisson Just Released a Creepy Video of Her Computer That Will Likely Send Chills Down Your Spine

Is she stupid or something? She shows a little sliver of her screen and no keyboard to speak of. I don't necessarily doubt her accusations, but her little cell phone video proves nothing at all. Hell I could do better than that and I'm not a professional.

When I was in the military I was assigned to NSA. (I was one of those guys in GI uniform when you see photos of the inside of NSA).
What was just shown IS TRUE. The Federales can and do have unlimited access to any computer they want to snoop on.

Would love to see the feds nailed for hacking but this isn't it.This is not how hacking works. When your computer is hacked nothing is visible to you.And did she take the video in 2012? Did she save this revelation for her book? I do not understand that at all.

I hope she can shed some other evidence to prove that her computer was hacked.

One good argument for having an old typewriter, or a non-PC-based word processor around the house. They can't hack those old machines. Of course, the stories submitted to online sites can still be edited or erased after the submission and subsequent publication . . . that happens all the time.

I designed and ran network security for a major media company, everything about this story rings false to me.


Was Attkisson hacked, or just has a faulty keyboard? Slashdot says the latter.

And while she talks about being hacked in 2012, Media Matters points out that the video was shot with the Valerie Harper debut on "Dancing With the Stars" playing in the background, so the video is no older than September, 2013. So she put up with a compromised PC for nine months?
