Nation's Top Spy Chief Got Hacked!
The same teenage hacker who broke into the AOL email inbox of CIA Director John Brennan last October
has now claimed to have broken into personal email and phone accounts of the US
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
Clapper was targeted by the teenage hacker, who called
himself Cracka and claimed to be a member of the hacker group Crackas
with Attitude (CWA) that made headlines in October for hacking into
CIA Director's email and accessing several online portals and tools used by US
law enforcement agencies.

The spokesperson for the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence (DNI) Brian Hale confirmed the intrusion on Tuesday,
saying that they were aware of the hacking incident and had reported it to
appropriate authorities. Though, he declined to provide any other details.
However, just having his hands on Clapper's online
accounts wasn't enough for Cracka. He also claimed to have changed the settings
of Clapper's Verizon FiOS account, so that every incoming call to his house
number would get redirected to the Free Palestine Movement.
Cracka also provided a list of call logs to Clapper's
home number and what he claimed were screenshots from his wife Susan's Yahoo
email account, as well as Clapper's email account, though the authenticity of
the screenshots is not verified.
