Lazars victims would eventually grow to include dozens of public figures, including former Secretary of State Colin Powell; CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz; authors Candace Bushnell and Kitty Kelley; billionaire venture capitalist John Doerr; journalists Carl Bernstein and Tina Brown; actress Mariel Hemingway; former Nixon aide John Dean; three members of Britains House of Lords; and numerous U.S. military officials, including a former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

What an odd assortment of victims. I wonder what the attraction was for the hacker.
