The hacking of CIA Director John Brennan's AOL account gains credibility
The "﻿Italian"﻿ behind the hacking of the CIA Director's AOL account has passed his cache to WikiLeaks, which said it will soon publish ﻿the content, posting a teaser of six documents last night. To all intents and purposes it appears that there is an actual stream of emails and documents﻿ from Mr Brennan's AOL account from during his time as CIA ﻿﻿Station Chief in Riyadh. His security clearance SF86 file﻿ from 2008 was also included in the content, however this could also have been bought off the dark-web, following the recent OPM hack. The issue is, why was a very senior CIA station chief using an insecure AOL account in the first place? Cyber security experts Sophus, believe that the hack was actually achieved by social media engineering and involved two hackers rather than one "teenager". "Brennan-gate"﻿﻿ will doubtless rumble on.﻿﻿
