Gee, I think I'll hack a former US President whose father was the CIA director and whose grandfather allegedly plotted a coup against FDR. I feel perfectly capable of swimming with these particular sharks. I'm just '1337 that way, I guess.

Methinks this hacker picked on the wrong family...

Is this another exploitation of weak security questions? Or was the email account password set to "IAMPOTUS"?

Keep in mind that it was neither GWB or Bush Sr's accounts that were "hacked".

I Am "President of the United States" for anyone trying to put it together -- had to google that one.

And second in command to TOTUS. You will want to google that one, too.

So you hack the account of the former president and all you loot is topics for People Magazine articles?

Read the article. Neither President's accounts were hacked.

point still stands. Why do anyone should care for his healthy when he/family clearly doesn't want to make it public?
