FLASHBACK 2015: Teen says he hacked CIA director’s AOL account
NY Post ^ | October 18, 2015 | Phillip Messing, Jamie Schram and Bruce Goldring

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s email scandal didn’t stop the head of the CIA from using his own personal AOL account to stash work-related documents, according to a high school student who claims to have hacked into them.

-snip-

“I can’t believe he did this to the head of the CIA,’’ the source added. “[The] problem with these older-generation guys is that they don’t know anything about cybersecurity, and as you can see, it can be problematic.”

In a series of phone conversations with The Post, the hacker described himself as an American high school student who is not Muslim and was motivated by opposition to US foreign policy and support for Palestine.

-snip-

The hacker contacted The Post last week to brag about his exploits, which include posting some of the stolen documents and a portion of Brennan’s contact list on Twitter. The hacker’s Twitter page includes the Muslim Shahada creed, which translates as, “There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

WikiLeaks releases documents from CIA director's personal email account
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/oct/21/wikileaks-to-release-cia-director-john-brennan-emails

The personal email account of the US’s top spy was compromised by hackers who claimed to be high school students. Those hackers had threatened on Twitter to release the same documents.


Just posting because I think it is relevant to what is going on. They have no clue who acquired podestas' emails.

I’m not Islamic, but somehow the Islamic creed shows up on my account.

Arrest this little d-weed, try him, and toss away the key.

Perhaps Brennan made the mistake of writing his user ID & password on his Koran?

Brennan should have been fired just for having an AOL account. A CIA Director in 2015 with an AOL account!!!!!

Just think about that....

LOL! I was developing training for the NSA's secure network in the '90s. Passwords were becoming a big deal and we were told that a significant number of passwords had never been changed - even though the default password was "changeme".

They finally discovered they could force folks to change them and we still have a lot of fools in high places that can't seem to stay secure - these days it takes a concerted effort to not be secure as just going with the flow pretty much does the job.
