“The head of the CIA says he was ‘outraged’ by a teenager’s hacking of his personal AOL email account. Brennan didn’t explain why someone in his position still has an AOL account that a teenager was able to access. The hacker said he used a reverse phone-number lookup to determine that Brennan has a Verizon Wireless account. He then called the company, posing as a technician whose ‘tools were down’ to get details about the account, including Brennan’s AOL email address. With that information, the teen called AOL and convinced a representative to reset the password, using Brennan’s personal details provided by Verizon.”
