[Link: Tampa media figure Tim Burke indicted on conspiracy charges | https://www.tampabay.com/news/tampa/2024/02/22/tim-burke-fox-news-indicted-tucker-carlson-federal-charges/ | Tampa Bay Times] Tim Burke faces 14 federal charges in connection to an alleged hack on Fox News, which leaked unreleased portions of a Tucker Carlson interview where West went on an antisemitic rant. The indictment claims Burke and a co-conspirator used “compromised credentials” to “access and save protected commercial broadcast video streams,” according to the Tampa Bay Times. Following an FBI raid on Burke’s home last year, his lawyers argued he accessed the video feed with no username or password required. “It’s not hacking, it’s just good investigative journalism,” Michael Maddux, Burke’s lawyer, told the Tampa Bay Times on Thursday.
