U.S. Probes Claims Teen Hackers Accessed Brennan's Personal Email 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
U.S. officials are investigating claims high school students hacked CIA
Director John Brennan's personal email account. The hackers released a
spreadsheet showing the names, contact information and Social Security
numbers of more than 20 alleged CIA employees. The hackers said Brennan
was storing sensitive information in his personal AOL account. A
teenager identifying himself as the hacker told the New York Post he was
motivated by opposition to U.S. foreign policy and support for
Palestine.
