The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has condemned whistle-blowing website, Wikileaks for hacking the personal email account of its director, John Brennan.
Six documents taken from an old account belonging to Mr Brennan were published by the anti-secrecy group Wikileaks.
The CIA says Wikileaks hacked into Mr Brennan’s email with “malicious intent”, but there was “no indication” that anything classified was released.
However, the documents do include a draft security clearance application containing personal information.
They appear to all date to 2009, when Mr Brennan was seeking security clearance while applying for a job as a White House counter-terrorism adviser.
