A hacker claims to have broken into the AOL account of CIA Director John Brennan says he obtained access by posing as a Verizon worker to trick another employee into revealing the spy chief’s personal information.
Using information like the four digits of Brennan’s bank card, which Verizon easily relinquished, the hacker and his associates were able to reset the password on Brennan’s AOL account repeatedly as the spy chief fought to regain control of it.

The hacker was on phone talking to CNN with a tweaked voice; claiming he smokes weed all day every day and may have even hacked the account while high, but he still says he is not that smart. Asked what if he gets caught? he says he is a fast runner and will go over to Russia and chill with Snowden
