From CBS News:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The personal emails of two of the highest-ranking national security officials have been hacked. Those being CIA Director John Brennan and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.
An anonymous hacker has been bragging about breaking into the accounts. Now, multiple law enforcement sources have told CBS News the breaches actually occurred.
This is a criminal investigation and authorities are working to locate the suspect.
He seems to be feeding off the publicity and that’s in part why investigators are reluctant to talk about it. But multiple law enforcement officials tell CBS News that he had unauthorized access to both private email accounts.
Do you think this hacker is who he says he is? If so, who will he strike next?
