The person who claims to have hacked an AOL e-mail account belonging to John Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, has now released a small spreadsheet with alleged personal information for a number of former and current government officials. The sample includes phone numbers, social security numbers, e-mail addresses, and level of security clearance and employment status in some cases.
Ars has contacted several of the people on the list by phone, text, and e-mail, including Brennan and the former deputy director of intelligence at the CIA, Jami Miscik. A male voice responded to the number listed for Miscik, and when Ars asked for her, the voice said it was the wrong number and hung up. No others immediately responded.
Update (10/19, 5:45p CT): Twitter has suspended the @_CWA_ account through which the information was released.
