Feds Looking Into Reports CIA Director's Email Was Hacked (nbcnews.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The FBI and Secret Service are looking into reports that non-government personal accounts of CIA Director John Brennan and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson were hacked. NBC reports: "Questions over a possible hacking of a private email account belonging to the CIA director arose late on Sunday after the New York Post published a story in which a hacker claimed to have gained access to the account. Described by the Post as a 'stoner high school student,' the individual claimed to have taken documents that included the Social Security numbers of top intelligence officials, among other information." ComputerWorld's story on the hack describes some of the images published by the hacker as well, poking fun at Brennan: Another screenshot shows Brennan’s wireless phone bill as the hacker taunted the CIA to “step your game up homies, we own everything of you.” One tweet contains a screenshot of suspicious activity logs as Brennan was “trying to get CWA arrested.” Yet another shows a CIA Office of General Counsel fax cover page. Supposedly, Brennan offered the hacker money to “leave him alone.”

how is that relevant? Fell for Nigerian prince

How is it relevant what "any person who isn't an idiot" would do? This guy fell for the Obama to the extent that he devoted his life to raising money for the idiot. Ergo, he is also an idiot.

I mean, he not only sent his money to "Nigerian prince", he spent years going around convincing other people to send their money because not only would the Nigerian prince make them rich, he'd save the whole country! Of course in this particular scam the "prince" claimed to be of Kenyan descent rather than Nigerian, but the scam is juat as transparent.
