"A hacker who claims to have broken into the AOL account of CIA Director John
Brennan says he obtained access by posing as a Verizon worker to trick another
employee into revealing the spy chief’s personal information."

Lessons:

1. Operational security requires training and personal vigilance.
2. Commercial providers are not secure.

Share and enjoy,
