Julian Assange told Sean Hannity this week that “a 14-year-old boy” could have hacked John Podesta’s emails.
It just so happens I live with two 14-year-old boys, my sons. Both are extremely tech savvy, unlike Dad. So I thought I’d ask their opinion about Assange’s assertion.
First, their bona fides.
At 10, they created YouTube videos teaching how to use Rainbow Loom, a popular toy for kids that age.

Well you are not alone. We are all proudly deplorable
It’s been my experience that a reasonably intelligent 14 year old knows about as much about computers as anyone you’ll find.
CNN contributor and former CIA official, Bob Baer an “expert” claimed, “Assange going on about a 14 year-old being able to hack Podesta is nonsense.”
The teenage hacking group, “Cracka with Attitude (15 year olds),” has hacked into the email accounts of CIA director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

My son hacked Toontown at age seven and Disney banned him from the game.
Somewhere, laying around stuffed away in the stuff never thrown away, I have a keystroke logger written by a 12 year old in Colorado, in assembly language. IIRC it was less than 1500 bytes.
The parents have already lost. The CHILDREN are running the show.
Hmmm, I wonder if they attend their weekly Church services. I kind of doubt it.
My 15 yr old grandson programs my cell phone for me or fixes what I screw up. He’s already taking server and router classes.
