US spy chief James Clapper’s personal online accounts have been hacked, his office confirmed Tuesday, a few months after CIA director John Brennan suffered a similar attack.
Clapper’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed the hack but refused to provide details.
“We are aware of the matter and we reported it to the appropriate authorities,” spokesman Brian Hale told AFP.
A teen hacker who goes by “Cracka” claimed to have hacked Clapper’s home telephone and Internet accounts, his personal email, and his wife’s Yahoo email, online magazine Motherboard reported.
