It appears as though hacker "Crackas With Attitude," or CWA, was not bluffing.
The anti-privacy website WikiLeaks posted six documents belonging to CIA Director John Brennan’s private AOL account on Wednesday.

A teenage hacker known as CWA bragged to the New York Post Oct. 18 of accessing Brennan’s personal information. The leaks include a draft security clearance application known as SF86, and drafts on policy advice for officials in 2007 and 2008.
"The hacking of the Brennan family account is a crime and the Brennan family is the victim," CIA spokesman Dean Boyd said in a statement released Wednesday, the Hill reported. "The private electronic holdings of the Brennan family were plundered with malicious intent and are now being distributed across the web. This attack is something that could happen to anyone and should be condemned, not promoted."

The 13-year-old hacker told the Post he is a non-Muslim who is upset with U.S. foreign policy. The breach of security is said to have occurred Oct. 12.
"If I go quiet on this account, the CIA losers have found me and I'm being tortured by their stupid methods of ruining a guys thoughts," a Twitter account linked with CWA tweeted Oct. 13.

In addition to the information contained on Brennan's SF86, the director's home telephone number, his wife’s Social Security number, and information about family members was stolen.
"There is no indication that any the documents released thus far are classified," Boyd's statement continued. "In fact, they appear to be documents that a private citizen with national security interests and expertise would be expected to possess."

Perhaps most notable of the leaked documents is a piece of advice meant for President Obama's early days in office.
Brennan said talks with Iran should "should not have a narrow focus" due to its "inextricably intertwined" ambitions regarding terrorism and nuclear weapons, the Hill reported.

Obama touted the narrow dynamics of his Iran deal over the summer, saying the litmus test critics should use for judgment is whether or not the Middle Eastern nation is prevented from obtaining a nuclear weapon, the Associated Press reported July 15. Such a standard would not take into account Iran's ability to fund terror around the globe with billions of dollars in sanctions relief.
CIA representatives did not respond to the Hill's inquiry about Brennan's leaked documents.
