Per Drudge Report.
Planted classified documents....
Monitored every keystroke....
In her new memoir, Sharyl Attkinson says a source who arranged to have her laptop checked for spyware in 2013 was “shocked” and “flabbegasted” at what the analysis revealed.
“This is outrageous. Worse than anything that Nixon ever did. I wouldn't have believed something like this could happen in the United States of America,” Attkinson quotes the source as saying.
She speculates that the motive was to lay the groundwork for possible charges against her or her sources.
Attkinson says the source, who's “connected to government three - letter agencies,” told her the computer was hacked into by “a sophisticated entity that used commercial, nonattibutal spyware that is proprietary to a government agency : either the CIA, FBI the Defense Intelligence Agency or the National Security Agency.”
The breach was accomplished through an “otherwise innocuous e-mail” that Attkinson says she got in Febuary 2012, then twice “redone” and “refreshed” through a satellite hookup and a Wi-Fi connection at a Ritz-Carlton hotel.
The spyware included programs that Attkinson says monitored her every keystroke and gave the snoops access to all her e-mails and the passwords to her financial accounts.
“ The intruders discovered my Skype account handle, stole the password, activated the audio, and made heavy use of it, presumably as a listening tool ” she wrote in her new book Stonewalled.
Attkinson says her source -- identified only as “Number One” told her the spying was most likely not court-autorized because it went on far longer than most legal taps.
But the most shocking finding, she says, was tha discovery of three classified documents that Number One told her were “buried deep in your operating system. In a place that, unless you're some kind of computer wiz specialist, you wouldn't even know exists.”
“They probably planted them to be able to accuse you of having classified documents if they ever needed to do that at some point,” Number One added.
Defend that you liberal hacks !!! No one but government agencies are going to try and plant government documents because only government entities would have access to them.
Obama and his administration trying to plant evidence on a reporter and intimidate her. We have seen this with this administration before.
How is this lawless POS still president ?
ROTFLMAO

No, O'riely asked her numerous times and she would never say whether she had hard evidence as pertaining to this being factual or not, only that her lawyers were investigating the matter.
Going to ad some quotes from the strory.
The Drudge Report is the link, type it in yourself.

Sort of. This is what's coming out of her tell-all book and it goes into much more detail about what happened.

The breach was accomplished through an “otherwise innocuous e-mail” that Attkisson says she got in February 2012, then twice “redone” and “refreshed” through a satellite hookup and a Wi-Fi connection at a Ritz-Carlton hotel.
The spyware included programs that Attkisson says monitored her every keystroke and gave the snoops access to all her e-mails and the passwords to her financial accounts.
“The intruders discovered my Skype account handle, stole the password, activated the audio, and made heavy use of it, presumably as a listening tool,” she wrote in “Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington.”
Attkisson says her source — identified only as “Number One” — told her the spying was most likely not court-authorized because it went on far longer than most legal taps.
But the most shocking finding, she says, was the discovery of three classified documents that Number One told her were “buried deep in your operating system. In a place that, unless you’re a some kind of computer whiz specialist, you wouldn’t even know exists.”
“They probably planted them to be able to accuse you of having classified documents if they ever needed to do that at some point,” Number One added.

yea, no real "shock" that the zero gubermint is as corrupt as it is, every facet of gubmint will be used as a political weapon, nope, no shock at all.
CBS and the White House lining their ducks up on this..
You have to wonder if they're torn between just lying about it as usual or just finally coming out and telling the truth about their corrupt behavior, "Yes we use the power of gubminet to protect ourselves in the media, so what, what are you gonna do about it?"

In her book, Attkisson says CBS lost interest in her coverage of the deadly attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, and killed her stories of the federal “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal.
Both CBS and the White House declined to comment.

sadly, this will just be glossed over as her having some axe to grind against Barry and the gang.

A couple of questions:
1) It's commercial software?
2) It's "nonattibutable" but also "proprietary"?

Question: why would they plant classified documents on her computer? How could the government frame that as a bad thing when they slander her later?

She's not cleared to have classified material and assuming they would frame a charge about her having it outside a classified environment
