Wikileaks claims release of CIA boss John Brennan's emails
That last paragraph in the 2007 draft sounds like some grade-A irony. Or does it? I can never tell anymore... Thanks Alanis!Wikileaks claims to have released some of the contents of CIA director John Brennan's personal email account. Six documents published on the Wikileaks website include a draft security clearance application containing personal information.
A CIA statement said the hacking of the Brennan family account was a crime carried out with malicious intent.
A high-school student claimed he was responsible and told the New York Post that he had found work-related files. The newspaper said he was angry about US foreign policy. His Twitter account, where he is described as 13 years old, has published redacted images of what appears to be government information.
Wikileaks announced in a tweet on Wednesday that it would release some of the information later in the day. The documents - made available a few hours later - also included a draft on national security challenges said to have been created in 2007. The last unfinished paragraph is headed "Damaging Leaks of Classified Information". A 2008 letter about interrogation methods is also included, purporting to be from the vice-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to his fellow board members.
Wikileaks said it would release more documents "over the coming days".
The original report on this from Monday also states that the same punk was able to get into an email account belonging to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, so keep your eyes peeled for another data dump. If this one is real, I'm guessing so is the other one. What were they using for passwords? 12345?
