Sharyl Attkisson Releases Video Allegedly Showing Gov’t Hacking Her Computer

To back her allegations that the government hacked her computers while she was reporting on Benghazi, former CBS news correspondent Sharyl Attkisson released a cellphone video of what she claims is one of the many hacks that took place.

In the video, taped in 2012 and provided to Politico, Attkisson shows an unknown entity quickly scrolling and deleting large segments of a report she was writing on a Benghazi-related story, occasionally showing that she herself was not touching the keyboard.

Attkisson’s new book, Stonewalled, details her allegations further, including evidence that her cable and television services were hacked, that her internet use was being monitored, and that the government planted documents on her computer. Earlier this week, she cited a renowned security expert who examined her computer and concluded that “a sophisticated entity…used commercial, nonattributable spyware that’s proprietary to a government agency” to monitor her: “either the CIA, FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency or the National Security Agency.”
