Bengal covers it pretty well but I'll expand a little on it.
Commercial probably means created by a governmental contractor and then sold to a governmental entity.
Proprietary means the governmental entity owns the rights to said program. It was most likely created to meet a specific set of criteria.
Nonattributable means the program most likely is not directly traceable to an organization. Deniable assets are all the rage in intelligence communities.
None of this is particularly out there in the realm of possibilities.

Which is in fact, more spin, and then the original topic is an afterthought. I know the game you play, it isn't that hard.
So let's go back to the OP. Do you think SA was hacked by Gov related entity or another entity? Give your reasons for discrediting her.

The worst were a couple of the tv reporters / anchors who wouldn't stop clicking on the same damn e-mails, even after you cleaned their computers and walked them through what happened. You would finally have the whole newsroom clean then you would start seeing e-mails going out to everyone from the same people who started it.
Interesting. What experience do you have with people in the news and their laptops?

Because there is no direct evidence given to back such a claim.
No such claim is made by Atkinson or "Number 1". It is only inferred, at least as far as the quotes I have seen.
Therefore there is nothing to refute.

mmcgrath, maybe you need to read the full article to gain context and to fit the puzzle together, lets not be four year olds, we can understand exactly what happened if we use deductive reasoning.
( “ A couple questions ” )
1) It's commercial software
2) It's “nonatributable” but also “proprietary”? )
So, by reading the full article you find out this : Atkkinson says the source ( Number One a government employee ) who's connected to government three letter agencies” told her the computer was hacked into by a sophisticated entity that used commercial, nonattributal spyware that is proprietary to a government agency.
Now, let use deductive reasonin: This source is in one of the “three letter agencies” and would know very well what spyware the government uses, and even though it is far better and probably far more expensive spyware than most people or companies have access to, so much so that it can't be tracked/traced, it is probably exclusive to those government agencies, one of which her source is employeed by, so he/she would know this as a fact, in other words whoever sells this spyware, probably sells it exclusively to our government. The two are not mutually exclusive, you can sell something commercially and only to the government, this happens with the military all the time.
As for it being “nonattributable” well that only applies to people outside of the three letter agencies, if you work in one of the three letter agencies, and have used the spyware before you can identify the spyware, even though it was created to be nonattributable.
Then you say there is no specific allegation in any direct quote.
Not this crap again !!!
“Number one” told her that classified documents were planted deep within her computer. Who, besides government agencies, can or want to plant classified information inside someones computer ? I mean it really takes a naive person not to see what happened to this woman, it strains credulity to deny this.
In your experience with reporters did they have classified government documents placed deep within their files ? Or did they get spyed on by spyware that is only used by our government, as told to her by someone who works in one of these government agencies ?
Remember, this is the same administration who spyed on the AP and tapped James Rosen's, of FOX NEWS, parents phones, and seemed like they were trying to build a case against him.
The government ( Ospyo and company ) are the only people who had an ax to grind with Sharyl Atkkinson, her CBS bosses were getting blowback from the administration, she was getting cursed out by Obama aides, she had classified government documents placed on her computer, she had spyware that only the U.S. GOVERNMENT had access to ( according to an inside source ) on her computer.
Only a naive person can't see what went on here, I don't need semantics thrown at me, I can see a pattern with this administration.
This administration is evil incarnate.

Any fool can see shes being evasive on purpose to try and protect her source. Come on man, anyone can see the facts here, Obama and company were trying to out her sourcs, this administration has been heavy handed at this.
Do you really think a reporter is going to get a source that is only “affiliated” in some capacity with one of the three letter agencies ? When everyone can get a source within with little effort ? GET REAL.
Nonsensical.

We have only ourselves to blame for allowing government to amass this much power.
The biggest problem today?---there are no repercussions for those in government that abuse the constitutional rights of citizens. The democrats are using the IRS, NSA, EPA, CIA, FBI and on and on to get their political enemies. The republicans will do nothing for fear or losing their money grabbing power centers. Boehner will never do anything to attack Obama.
Republicans should be outraged----at the REPUBLICANS for lying down while government does this.

I took it to mean that it was contracted and developed for government intelligence use (Not the work of a single programmer). It being non-attributable is a complicated way of saying "no labels". There was nothing in the coding that would say it was for use by CIA but the security analyst recognized it as a program proprietary and exclusive among the intelligence communities.

Assuming that the 3 classified documents exist and that they are not part of a virus and she doesn't know how they got there... There is no claim made as to where they came from... so nothing to refute.
Of course anyone reasonable would ask her if she notified the government of the documents or ask her to produce them.

This brings up the question about the guy who the government had on the ropes about leaking to the media, maybe the government planted documents in his computer also, who knows.
Anyone that thinks the Obama administration wasn't behind this is basically living with their head buried in the sand, and nothing anyone says will make sense to them.
It's called living in an alternate universe.
