Although he has since regained access, Walsh said that his phone and private online files were also infiltrated by a stranger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMy entire life laid bare,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cAs expected, the Left and many in the media were eagerly cheering on this series of felonies that were committed against me and my family. Reporters took to Twitter to openly solicit the hacker to send the reporters stolen information from my phone, so they could use it to try to embarrass me. Prominent leftists and trans activists gloated, declaring that a criminal infringement on my privacy and safety is okay in this case, because they don\u2019t like me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Walsh, speaking on the topic of transgenderism at the University of Iowa, also said that an \u201cinsider\u201d helped the outsider gain access to Walsh\u2019s information by switching Walsh\u2019s phone number over to a sim card controlled by the hacker. But the Daily Wire firebrand had a message to those who took the hack as an opportunity to try and solicit his private information: \u201clawyer up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat was motivating the insider to distribute my personal data to a hacker?\u201d Walsh asked. \u201cWe can make some educated guesses, but we don\u2019t know at this point. There is still a lot we don\u2019t know about what happened \u2014 who did it? How? Why? But I\u2019ll tell you, we are going to get answers to all of those questions. We\u2019re getting them right now \u2014 and there are going to be consequences. \u2026 That includes the journalists who solicited stolen information from my phone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MattWalshBlog<\/a> on being hacked:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re going to be severe consequences\u2026 that includes the journalists who solicited stolen information from my phone.
