That sophisticated. which is pretty eye opening if they did in fact get inside the cia directors personal e-mail account. >> they kept using the term "socially engineered." what does that mean? >> that is the term going hear more and more. social engineering is basically able to call up verizon and use data about the cia director to prepend to be him. to pretend to get more information about him. then they were able to call up aol and convince them they were someone they were not so aol would re...

They just say its under investigation. they are not explaining it. the only thing to explain here would be why such sensitive documents, not classified but sensitive, were being sent back and forth on a fairly low level security e-mail system like aol or many others, frankly. he claims and he and his fellow hackers claim they are going to go after the deputy secretary of defense, robert work, and as i say, they say they put the call logs up of the deputy national security advisor, who used to wo...
