British teen: Accessing classified documents was ‘kind of easy’!!!

A 15-year-old British teenager accessed top secret US military reports by impersonating a CIA director.

Acting from his Leicestershire home, Kane Gamble posed as CIA Chief John Brennan, gaining access to passwords, personal information, contact lists, security details, and sensitive documents regarding US operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Gamble’s security attacks occurred between June 2015 and February 2016. In them, he targeted Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, FBI Director Mark Giuliano, former US President Barack Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and others. In addition to the security hacks, Gamble also harassed his victims and their families.

Impersonating Clapper, Gamble directed Clapper’s calls to be diverted to the “Free Palestine” organization, and used Clapper’s email to contact additional officials. He claimed to have the names of 1,000 FBI staffers.

Some of the information was later used to order an armed SWAT team to deploy to the home of Obama’s science and technology adviser John Holdren.

In the case of Johnson, Gamble listened to his voicemails, sent texts from his phone, and harassed his wife. He also persuaded call handlers at an internet giant that he was Brennan, in an attempt to gain access to the then-CIA director’s computers. Gamble succeeded in accessing Brennan’s AOL account, emails, contacts, and iCloud storage account, and took control of Brennan’s wife’s iPad.

Gamble also succeeded in accessing the private calls and emails of White House Deputy National Security Adviser Avril Haines and FBI Special Agent Amy Hess, and downloading videos to Hess’ computer.

“This has to be the biggest hack, I have access to all the details the Feds use for background checks,” court documents showed him as boasting at the time.

This hacker had the brains of an adult and the emotions of a child. This prank made me laugh. Who but a child would order a swat team and to a “tech” advisor. That’s what I call irony.
