CIA Director John Brennan 'Outraged' By Email Hack


By Tal Kopan, Oct 27, 2015 CNN

Washington (CNN)CIA Director John Brennan addressed the hack of his personal email account for the first time on Tuesday, calling it an "outrage" that shows the challenges that face the intelligence and national security communities in the modern age.

"I was certainly outraged by it," Brennan said Tuesday at an intelligence conference at George Washington University when asked about his reaction to learning of the hack.

"I certainly was concerned about what people might try to do with that information," Brennan added. "I was also dismayed at how some of the media handled it, and the inferences that were in there."

A self-proclaimed high school student said he hacked Brennan's email last week, and the document leak site Wikileaks published some of the contents of his email later in the week.
