"On Tuesday night, Engel told NBC News' Brian Williams that his computers and cellphone were hacked "almost immediately" upon arriving in Sochi, Russia, to cover the Olympic games. He detailed how in just one minute, hijackers invaded his two computers, probing for information. But cybersecurity expert Robert Graham investigated Engel's report Thursday and claimed in a blog post that "the story was fabricated":
1. They aren't in Sochi, but in Moscow, 1,007 miles away.2. The "hack" happens because of the websites they visit (Olympic themed websites), not their physical location. The results would've been the same in America.
3. The phone didn't "get" hacked; Richard Engel initiated the download of a hostile Android app onto his phone."
