E-Mail Hack Exposes Bush Family Pictures, Correspondence

Posted by Soulskill on from the dubya-the-painter dept.

New submitter rHBa sends this article about another high-profile email account breach: "The apparent hack of several e-mail accounts has exposed personal photos and sensitive correspondence from members of the Bush family, including both former U.S. presidents. The posted photos and e-mails contain a watermark with the hacker's online alias, 'Guccifer.' ... Included in the hacked material is a confidential October 2012 list of home addresses, cell phone numbers, and e-mails for dozens of Bush family members, including both former presidents, their siblings, and their children. ... Correspondence obtained by the hacker indicates that at least six separate e-mail accounts have been compromised, including the AOL account of Dorothy Bush Koch, daughter of George H.W. Bush and sister of George W. Bush. Other breached accounts belong to Willard Heminway, 79, an old friend of the 41st president who lives in Greenwich, Connecticut; CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz, a longtime Bush family friend; former first lady Barbara Bush’s brother; and George H.W. Bush’s sister-in-law. "

    That lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, I suppose this was the least our great nation could do.

      Riiiight... _hundreds of thousands_ of innocent civilians. Don't you mean millions? Shit, why stop there, make it hundreds of millions!! Of course, al-qaida, the taliban, and the other insurgents who don't give a damn who dies, even fellow muslims should they be in the way, have fuck all to do with it, they should absolved from all blame, right? It was a totally peaceful and harmonious region, free of murder, executions, torture, and war before Bush went in ruined everything. Because after all, -repeat after me- it's all Bush's fault! Bush, and only Bush. It's all his fault. Hell, he invented fault!

      American here. I've always thought Bush Jr.'s Iraq war was a simple case of "Love me, daddy". "I'll get that Saddam for you. If I do, will you love me then?" A truly disgusting abuse of power. George jr. is not heard or seen much in the media since he left office, he's figured out how most of us do not like him, if some of us ever did. I hope that the world knows that the average U.S. citizen was against Bush from the beginning, when the voting shenanigans in Florida (hanging chads!) led to the outright theft of the office of the presidency. There are a lot of disillusioned voters who could only watch with disbelief what went on then. Many Anti-Bush demonstrations at the White House lawn happened, their effect was nothing changed, the friends of Bush kept profitting from these unnecessary wars. Truly a shameful time to be an American, imo.

      Goodness, look. It's someone from another country who can act the part of the outraged world citizen because their country couldn't do this shit if they wanted to. It's easy to be righteous from the sidelines.

      You are right, I should have said it was clear to anyone wanting to listen unless they were a fucking moron like you trolling.

      I am so glad I can provide you with hours of amusement trolling me. I'm not sure if I smacked you once or twice to many times and you get off on it now or what. But hey, I'm a liberal type of guy, I don't care how you get your rocks off. Just brush your teeth before you try to kiss me.
