CIA director hacked

Teen Who Hacked CIA Director John Brennan’s Email Tells How He Did It. This is soooo rich:

News of the hack was first reported by the New York Post after the hacker contacted the newspaper last week. The hackers described how they were able to access sensitive government documents stored as attachments in Brennan’s personal account because the spy chief had forwarded them from his work email.

So dude was sending sensitive information over AOL email? And got hacked because Verizon shared metadata? But these dudes have class:

“[I]t was like ‘Hey,…. its CWA.’ He was like ‘What do you want?’ We said ‘2 trillion dollars hahhaa, just joking,'” the hacker recounted to WIRED.

Brennan, the hacker says, replied, “How much do you really want?”

They told Brennan “We just want Palestine to be free and for you to stop killing innocent people.”
