O'REILLY: "Personal Story" segment tonight. CBS News announced on Friday that Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson's computer was hacked into late last year. This, combined with the James Rosen situation here at Fox News and the A.P. snooping, causing a lot of concern.
With us now on a Factor Cable Exclusive is Ms. Attkisson. So, when did you know that somebody was messing with your computer.
SHARYL ATTKISSON, INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, CBS NEWS: Well, there were signs probably around 2011 but I don't think I recognized exactly what was going on until perhaps the fall of last year when so many things were happening in the Attkisson household, so many of sort of strange electronic related things that --
O'REILLY: Give me an example because I don't know anything about computers. Give me an example.
ATTKISSON: I know very little, too. But the computers coming on by themselves at night. My personal Apple desktop as well as my CBS --
O'REILLY: -- disappearing. You weren't even there, just popped on.
ATTKISSON: Right.
O'REILLY: OK.
ATTKISSON: I mean I was sleeping. So, they would come on in the middle of the night, sometimes one right after the other. By the time last fall came around, they would sometimes both be starting up kind of a cacophony of computer music at night, in the middle of the night.
O'REILLY: So, you had a personal and you had a business computer. And they both came on. Sounds like poltergeist.

“...Unplugging the network cable ....”
Seems like basic common sense OPSEC nowadays.
A minor inconvenience to reach around and plug it back in, at best.
I don’t use Wifi, ever. Hardline only, through the router.
I have my Tom Tom GPS plugged to my computer to keep it charged, that will bring my computer out sleep once in awhile when it activates by itself.
We all know who did it. Obama’s minions.
RE: We all know who did it. Obama’s minions.
Ahh but here’s the rub... with our without Obama’s knowledge?
Thanks so much for your response. I learned a lot. Now, I have some things to consult with my husband about— especially whether/when we are or should be disconnected from the wifi.
How does a computer turn on without someone pushing the “power on” button?

Who is he, a NSA hacker?
I never knew that. All these years I thought it was my cat surfing the internet at night then forgetting to turn it off in the morning........
I set mine for a virus scan every fifth day at 2:00AM. It will come on, scan and turn itself back off. I read the scan record next day.
Very doubtful. This reporter has been the only one from the MSM who's covered these "scandals." She broke F&F, and has been an absolute bull-dog while reporting on it and Benghazi. CBS was threatening her as getting "political" in her reporting.
The woman deserves multiple Pulitzer Prizes!

But, it has to be asked...how many journalists HAVE been successfully hacked and the information found was used to quiet and control them? Another thing that is bothering me, how many in the media traveling press corps were with Hillary and her state department that became a part of the sex and drug scandal? Blackmail........in fact, it could have been one if the primary purposes, get the goods on journalists and shut them up.
That’s good to know....thanks.
