WASHINGTON — The personal e-mail account of a State Department whis­tle­­blower was hacked, and four years worth of messages — some detailing alleged wrongdoing at the agency — were deleted, The Post has learned.

The computer attack targeted the Gmail account of Diplomatic Security Service criminal investigator Richard Higbie, his lawyer, Cary Schulman, confirmed.

“They took all of his e-mails and then they deleted them all,” said Schulman. He said that he could not prove who was responsible for the hack job, but said the attack was “sophisticated” and called the targeting of Higbie “alarming.”

“Obviously, somebody is not happy with something he’s doing and wanted to get that information and also cause him an inability in the future to have ready access to that,” Schulman said.

The e-mails included evidence about misconduct by top officials at the department, communications with other potential whistleblowers there, and correspondence with members of Congress who are investigating the allegations, Schulman said.

They also include correspondence between Higbie and Schulman about legal strategy,
the lawyer said.   Schulman said he could not provide details about the evidence deleted with the e-mails.

Higbie has asked the FBI in Dallas, where he lives, to investigate the hacking, which occurred this month.

Higbie played a key role in helping fellow whistleblower Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator for the department’s inspector general, reveal in June a pattern of alleged coverups by top department officials.

The alleged coverups included keeping quiet separate IG investigations that found that members of then-Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton’s security detail had engaged hookers and that the Belgian ambassador had solicited underage prostitutes.

    Boy if that isn’t ever the cat who ate the canary sheepish grin. The only way she could look any guiltier would be if she had the feathers hanging from her mouth.

    From the same crowd that breached the passport and immigration records for Barack Hussein Obama II and Stanley Ann Dunham. John Brennan has to be involved.

    To anyone who thinks that “the clintons” ever left the WH…think again. Their people where so imbedded in the bureaucracy that they were even there through the Bush years. They don’t get fired from union fed jobs they get promoted.

    Just last July…remember the law office break in ? State Dept whistle blower files stolen and 3 computers gone.

    Truth be told..Bill Clinton did grave damage to this country and economy even paved the way for this tyranny and moral degredation.

    We tolerate the existence of these turds and wonder why our country has turned into a cesspool.

    This bitch has been a murdering, filthy, lying, stealing, piece of shit since her days with Rodino’s Judiciary committee and, instead of cooling her heels in prison or executed for high crimes and treason, she sits in luxury cooling her heels til she takes another stab at the presidency.

    What the Hell is wrong with us?

    ‘How The NSA Hacks Your iPhone (Presenting DROPOUT JEEP)’

    Following up on the latest stunning revelations released yesterday by German Spiegel which exposed the spy agency’s 50 page catalog of “backdoor penetration techniques”, today during a speech given by Jacob Applebaum (@ioerror) at the 30th Chaos Communication Congress, a new bombshell emerged: specifically the complete and detailed description of how the NSA bugs, remotely, your iPhone. The way the NSA accomplishes this is using software known as Dropout Jeep, which it describes as follows: “DROPOUT JEEP is a software implant for the Apple iPhone that utilizes modular mission applications to provide specific SIGINT functionality. This functionality includes the ability to remotely push/pull files from the device. SMS retrieval, contact list retrieval, voicemail, geolocation, hot mic, camera capture, cell tower location, etc. Command, control and data exfiltration can occur over SMS messaging or a GPRS data connection. All communications with the implant will be covert and encrypted.”

    The flowchart of how the NSA makes your iPhone its iPhone is presented below:
    NSA ROC operator
    Load specified module
    Send data request
    iPhone accepts request
    Retrieves required SIGINT data
    Encrypt and send exfil data
    Rinse repeat

    Deleting the personal email should be unimportant. Federal email is supposed to be backed up and saved, so it should be s simple matter to get it back.

    I’m old enough to remember the media shitstorm that the Nixon Administration caught for doing a blackbag burglary break-in of Daniel Ellsberg’s shrinks office. Ellsberg is the leftist traitor who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the NY Times fishwrapper.

    But a State Dept whistleblower’s attorney’s office is blackbagged, the whistleblower’s email evidence is erased/ censored ….. and the fucking leftist media doesn’t say anything about it? Not. One. Word.

    That’s why I have a deep loathing & hatred for the leftist media – print, tv and radio. They are an unchecked criminal gang of unethical fascist assholes masquerading as “journalists”. They are repellent and despicable.

    Greetings!

    I’m not an IT expert. However I know that deleted emails and docs, docx,and pdfs can be recovered from quite devastating situations. There is a document recovery firm in Pirmasens, Federal Republic of Germany that was engaged in recovering lost documents and emails after the World Trade Center destruction on 9/11. Their success at recovering the material was exceedingly high. As I remember,almost 90%. Much of the material was burned and they still recovered the information. Some of the informationm had been deleted before the World Trade Center went down. The firm recovered that material as well. I don’t know the name and address, but I can find out. There are also excellent data recovery firms in Leipzig and Berlin. Perhaps some iOTW readers know some experienced data recover firms and can pass th einformation on to Mr. Higbie and Mr. Schulman
