Posted February 13, 2016 You have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be quoted on the LinusTechTips forums. You have the right to a Moderator. Alright, shits and giggles aside that was actually a great intro. The UK Police have arrested a teen that they believe hacked the CIA's emails. Boo hoo. CIA's not too happy. Image courtesy of iVerge. Quote Police in the UK, in coordination with the FBI, have reportedly arrested a teenager alleged to be the leader of the hacktivist group "Crackas With Attitude," Motherboard reports . The group took credit for compromising CIA director John Brennan’s personal email account , as well as accessing accounts associated with James Clapper , the director of National Intelligence. The police agency — the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit — wouldn’t confirm the name of the 16-year-old or whether the arrest was made over those specific incidents. The teenager told Motherboard, however, that the police are accusing him of using the name "Cracka" to carry out attacks on not only Brennan, but also on White House officials, and of a recent hack on the Department of Justice that led to the release of names and contact information for nearly 30,000 FBI and DHS employees. The teenager told Motherboard that he was not Cracka. What's with everyone trying to be a rebel these day? Seriously. I'm gonna add to the list of things not to do. Don't do drugs, Don't do piracy, Don't do hacking and Don't get arrested...... kids.

Posted February 13, 2016 They should hire him, because even though he might not have been smart enough to not get caught, he's still certainly more clever than they are if he bested their "intelligence security".

Posted February 13, 2016 Wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't find the real culprit, and decided to fabricate evidence and blame some random person. How can they get away with it you ask? Well "that's classified, the evidence is classified, the court hearing is classified, he's going to gitmo". etc etc. Ketchup is better than mustard. GUI is better than Command Line Interface.
