Hillary Rodham Clintons email scandal didnt stop the head of the CIA from using his own personal AOL account to stash work-related documents, according to a stoner high school student who claims to have hacked into them.
CIA Director John Brennans private account held sensitive files including his 47-page application for top-secret security clearance until he recently learned that it had been infiltrated, the hacker told The Post.
Other emails stored in Brennans non-government account contained the Social Security numbers and personal information of more than a dozen top American intelligence officials, as well as a government letter about the use of harsh interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects, according to the hacker.
The FBI and other federal agencies are now investigating the hacker, with one source saying criminal charges are possible, law enforcement sources said.
I think theyll want to make an example out of him to deter people from doing this in the future, said a source who described the situation as just wild and crazy.
I cant believe he did this to the head of the CIA, the source added. [The] problem with these older-generation guys is that they dont know anything about cybersecurity, and as you can see, it can be problematic.

Now you’ve done it!
Homeland Security is probably on their way right now to arrest you for releasing classified information...

Have heard over the years that Brennan is a Muslim convert...perhaps only AOL is Halaal.

I’m calling BS on this story. Brennan - Head of CIA, his history and the passport scandal. Nope, I don’t think so. Bet it’s a planted story to somehow save Hillary’s bacon.

Sounds to me that the fault lies with Verizon and AOL.
The hacker said he used a tactic called social engineering that involved tricking workers at Verizon into providing Brennans personal information and duping AOL into resetting his password.

That Brennan was even allowed to stay employed after this tells us what we need to know about the Obama administration. I wonder if Brennan was leaving this info there to leak the ss numbers and IDs of US interrogators.
