Also in personal e-mail Director of the CIA was a 47-page document with a request for access to top secret information. It contains detailed information about past jobs Brennan, his foreign contacts, finances and other aspects of life and activity. The official representative of the CIA in comments to the Wall Street Journal reported that the Department is aware of allegations of an anonymous schoolboy and passed the information to the appropriate authorities.

it is Assumed that the hacker used the techniques of "social engineering" to obtain access to personal email of the Director of the CIA.
