2) It's "nonattributable" but also "proprietary"?
Here's the full quote:
quote:The source Atkinson is quoting seems to be using the word "proprietary" in the sense of it's part of the MO of a particular govt agency.
“a sophisticated entity that used commercial, nonattributable spyware that’s proprietary to a government agency: either the CIA, FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency or the National Security Agency.”
Laying aside technology nomenclature for a moment, what do you think about the allegations Atkinson makes?

Personally, I don't think people would have been jacking with her personal laptop if there wasn't something to where she was headed with some of her work.
I'm sure it was just a rogue agent though.

Irrelevant based on potentially flawed adjective. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it, that does not make sense.

BOOM and that source “Number One” works for one of those 3 letter agencies,( at least that's what the article indicated ) so he/she would know what spyware those guys all use, hence proprietary is the proper word.
I added the quotes from the article but yall beat me to it, oh well, they are there along with my usual Obama is POS.

quote:There is no specific allegation in any of the direct quotes where she specifically accuses the government. Even the statements attributed directly to "Number 1" don't have any specific accusations, only innuendo.

In my experience working directly with people in the news including anchors and reporters, their laptops are filled with viruses and spyware because they tend to read all of their e-mails with less caution than an average person would.
