Novelist Claims NSA Hacked Wife’s Laptop

Frederick Forsyth, author of The Day of the Jackal and The Odessa File, has accused the National Security Agency of hacking his wife’s computer in an effort to steal copy he was writing for the Daily Express in West Africa.

Forsyth made the claim during a recent interview the BBC program Hardtalk. The author claims the hack happened when he was having a phone conversation regarding his story. He also says his phone conversation was tapped.

“Unfortunately, the American intelligence services listened to it and wasted my wife’s computer screen and totaled all her lunch dates… Everything up there in the ether is intercepted, probably by the National Security Agency at Fort Meade in Maryland, and I think my report ended up somewhere on a desk at Fort Meade,” he said.
