The hacking group that first hit CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano, and then NSA Director James Clapper also hacked the Xfinity account of John Holdren, Sr. Advisor to President Barack Obama on science and technology.
According to Motherboard, whose reporter seems to have created one connection with the hackers, one of its members teamς, με το όνομα Fearz, έστειλε ένα spear phishing email to his wife M r John Holdren, feigning Holdren.
Ο hacker της ζήτησε "να του υπενθυμίσει" τον κωδικό accesss for the family's Xfinity account.
With the password that the hacker acquired and using the service dashboard, he directed all incoming calls from the Holdren home to a phone number in Palestine, just like they did with James Clapper last week.
CWA, made up of three hackers, Cracka, Fearz, and Cubed, says all their hacks are aimed at drawing attention to the situation in Israeli abuses in Palestine.
In addition to the above-mentioned blows to US officials, the team reported to Motherboard that it has also breached other low-ranking US officials, White House Communication Manager Jen Psaki, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, Deputy Minister Tony Blinken , Deputy National Security Adviser Avril Haines, and the Assistant Executive Director of the FBI for Science and Technology Amy Hess.
