The New York Post
reported on Monday that a high school student claimed to have
hacked into Brennan's private AOL account and the Comcast
account of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.
The hacker told the Post Brennan's private account contained
sensitive files including his 47-page application for top-secret
security clearance.
The CIA does not believe any classified information was
compromised, according to CNN.
The teenager said he accessed Johnson's account and also
listened to his voicemails, the newspaper reported.
“We are aware of the media report, however as a matter of
policy, we do not comment on the secretary’s personal security,”
a DHS spokesman said.
According to the Post, the hacker described himself as an
American high school student who is not Muslim and was motivated
by opposition to U.S. foreign policy and support for Palestine.
Reuters could not immediately verify the reports.
