An anonymous individual or group is alleging that they have gained "all available 1040 tax forms" of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney by accessing computers in the Franklin office of the professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.

An anonymous posting on a file sharing website states that PwC has been hacked. This same website has been used by hackers who have claimed to have infiltrated computers from companies like Apple in the past.

The hope? Now Romney will have to release the real returns to prove these are fakes!

These people still have no hope without class warfare.

Just to clarify, and you probably already know this, but he did it to JACK RYAN NOT PAUL RYAN. The dems in IL also used confusion over the name Ryan to try to associate Jack Ryan and Jim Ryan with the corrupt blow hard Gov George Ryan. Ryan is a common name.

In spite of denials this is standard BHO, Jr. procedure.

Now there is also the question: Is it simply a scam?

I see a much BIGGER issue here and it has nothing to do with Romney or his tax returns.

Shame on you Nana. You know better. To suggest that Romney 'likes' unborn babies to be hacked is a lie. I don't agree with his past positions on the sanctity of life however he has stated publicly that he intends to defend life as President, the GOP platform is strongly pro-life and no less than Phyllis Schlafly endorses it.

You only serve the cause of 0bama when you make statements like that.

What did members of the Obama Administration know, and when did they know it.

What did members of Harry Ried’s staff know, and when did they know it.

When is a special prosecutor going to be named?

Romney has been running for president for at least ten years. he was running for governor before that. he is a smart man. I am sure he had things well in order prior to his run knowing that there would be digging. he no doubt saw how the Clintons used the IRS as a political appendage and prepared for Hillary to be his opponent in 2008. there is likely nothing in his returns but there is a crime in anyone but him releasing them.

As I said over there...

This isn't hacking, this is plain old theft of file documents. Do they lock the file cabinets and if so, who has keys to the cabinet? Security cameras? Too many questions unanswered.

..."all 1040 tax forms for Romney were copied,"...
Note that the forms were copied, not downloaded.

...you did not have them all in a convenient electronic form.

And why, if you're holding out for money, do you do this...
...having sent Mitt's tax returns "to Democratic and GOP offices in the county."
Any comments from the GOP or DNC? This would be big news.

And I notice that PWC gave no comment either. You have to wonder if they were even called and asked about this before this "report" was made.

And forget the Justice Dept. letting this go unnoticed if this is real.
IMO, somebody could be facing some intense Secret Service scrutiny.

I wonder if they could hack ‘The War Criminal’ Obama’s college records? Don’t they claim to be mad at him?

Sounds more like Obama obtained records from IRS?.

You are dead on target. This has the smell of a cover story for a typical Axelrod/Obama dirty tricks operation. Axelrod got Geithner to breach IRS confidentiality and this phony story is let out to wipe off the fingerprints, so to speak.

Mitt’s tax returns on form 1040? I don’t think so. There is a bit more needed if PriceWaterhouse is used to do the tax computations.
