NEW: Attkisson v. DOJ: The Computer Intrusion Lawsuit against the Federal Govt. | Sharyl Attkisson

Tracing the evidence of the government-related intrusion to individual participants hasn’t been easy. The attackers attempted to erase their tracks once they were discovered. And neither the U.S.P.S. nor the Department of Justice (DOJ) are voluntarily cooperating. But experts familiar with the tools and tradecraft that are proprietary to government intelligence agencies have painstakingly recovered and pieced together compelling forensic proof as to attribution.

“There can be no reasonable question that an [Advanced Persistent Threat]-style cyber-attack was carried on Attkisson’s computer systems and Internet connection,” stated Scantling in an affidavit filed last week. “Specifically, the APT methods deployed against [Attkisson’s] computers and Internet connection…were sophisticated and of the type only available to government-type activities and operations.” (emphasis added)

I remember going to lunch not long after 9/11 with a group that I rarely saw. When I sat down they were already talking about President Bush monitoring phone calls. They seemed quite concerned and certainly didn’t give any weight to efforts to not intercept or reveal innocent US parties involved in international conversations.

Where are these people during the Obama administration and why isn’t there a loud outcry regarding Sharyl Attkisson’s computer being hacked a government that refuses to admit they did it?

Obviously, people like the “friends” I met for lunch were only concerned when the wrong political party or person abused government power. I’m concerned when government abuses political and administrative power regardless of the affiliated party.
