Stoner high school kid claims to have hacked CIA Director's email account

The CIA Director had an AOL account where he allegedly stored highly sensitive information of his own, of other top American intelligence officials and of the CIA’s. The personal account came to light after a hacker took it over and started leaking screenshots. The same hacker doxed Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and leaked call logs of White House Deputy National Security Advisor Avril Haines.

The unnamed hacker was identified as a “teen stoner” by the New York Post. This hacker, going by an alias of “cracka,” claimed “CWA” pwned CIA Director John Brennan, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and White House Deputy National Security Advisor Avril Haines. The NYPost reported, “CWA stood for ‘Crackas With Attitude,’ which he said referred to him and a classmate with whom he smokes pot.” It seems like getting high doesn't make the teenager too paranoid to target and hack specific feds.
