WikiLeaks Plans To Release CIA Chief’s Personal Emails

This Wednesday WikiLeaks took to Twitter to announce the news. “We have obtained the contents of CIA Chief John Brennan’s email account and will be releasing it shortly,” read one post.

Documents apparently belonging to Brennan have already appeared on Twitter, posted by a hacker who goes by the name of “cracka.” The teenager also claims to have hacked Brennan’s personal AOL account, gaining access to documents including the CIA chief’s application for top security clearance.

The first reports of the hack came on Sunday night, when the New York Post broke the story. The Post contacted the alleged hacker, who later told Wired that he had two accomplices.
