I can believe that the information security is atrocious for folks unwilling or unable to adopt agency policies, but how stupid do you have to be to poke the head of the CIA in public?

Agreed. Also this in the post>The hacker contacted The Post last week to brag about his exploits, which include posting some of the stolen documents and a portion of Brennan’s contact list on Twitter.

Like seriously, it is like begging to be apprehended.

Why do they keep referring to this guy as a "stoner"? What he smokes doesn't seem to be at all related to what he's done.

This is the New York Post we're dealing with. To play their own game, one can refer to the fear-mongering, Murdoch-owned paper as a "rag."

I am assuming based on this -He explained “CWA” stood for “Crackas With Attitude,” which he said referred to him and a classmate with whom he smokes pot.- The NY Post went for a dramatic title. But I could be wrong. The NY Post is known for such "wild titles" for attention.
