CIA Email Hackers Breach FBI's Law Enforcement Portal: Reports

The hackers who claimed to have breached the CIA director’s email account last month have a new target: the FBI. Days after the self-described teenagers said they gained access to FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano’s inbox, CNN reported the group broke into the bureau’s Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal where police organizations across the U.S. send each other information about all cases, including those that are ongoing or sealed.

The Crackas With Attitude members, who have previously identified themselves as marijuana-loving high-school students, apparently hacked into the LEO.gov website before Friday. They told Wired they accessed 3,000 government employees’ email addresses and phone numbers. They also indicated they had access to areas such as the Active Shooter Resources page, Homeland Security Information Network and National Gang Intelligence Center.
