A Teenager Claims He Hacked the CIA Director's AOL Account

Read: Why You Actually Should Care About Hillary Clinton's Damn Emails

A self-described teenage hacktivist snuck into CIA Director John Brennan's personal AOL email account, according to a New York Post story that broke over the weekend and got weirder on Monday.

The teen—he and a classmate are supposedly going by the moniker CWA, or "Crackas with Attitude"—is an American high school student who suggested to the Post that he was frustrated with US foreign policy, especially when it comes to Palestine. Apparently, making the head of the CIA (who it should be noted has precious little influence on the plight of the Palestinian people) look bad was his best idea for how to resolve the situation.

On Monday, a federal law enforcement source told CBS News that both the FBI and Secret Service are investigating the hacker and his claims. Coming amid intense scrutiny of Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton and her use of a private email account to conduct official business, this latest hack—if verified—suggests lots of senior US government employees (read: old people) are still way behind when it comes to cybersecurity.

According to CWA, America's top spy stashed some pretty important files in his personal email. They are said to have included a 47-page security clearance application, Social Security numbers of CIA employees, and a letter about the use of "harsh interrogation techniques" of terrorism suspects. But for what it's worth, the feds are suggesting nothing truly classified was exposed in the alleged hack, as CNN reports.

The kid also told the tabloid that he got his hands on the Comcast billing information of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, which seems creepy more than anything else.

The teenager further claimed to have been prank-calling Brennan for a while now, even reading his Social Security number aloud to the guy during one call to prove he was legit. (The teenager said Brennan soon hung up.)

The wannabe hacking legend was still making the media rounds Monday, telling CNN in an interview that so far, at least, he has not been hit up by the feds. We'll see how long that lasts.
