You Want to Trust the Government to Keep Your Info Private?

They can't seem to keep their own.
A group of hackers calling themselves “Crackas With Attitude” or CWA made headlines in October, hacking into CIA Director John Brennan’s email account and apparently getting access to several online tools and portals used by US law enforcement agencies.

[...]

One of the group’s hackers, who’s known as “Cracka,” contacted me on Monday, claiming to have broken into [another official account].

[...]

His latest victim is the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

[...]

While in control of Clapper’s Verizon FiOS account, Cracka claimed to have changed the settings so that every call to his house number would get forwarded to the Free Palestine Movement. When they gained notoriety last year, Cracka and CWA claimed their actions were all in support of the Palestine cause.

Uh oh. If they're not in another country, their ticket will soon be punched. And, even if they are, it will be punched; just may take a little longer.
