Secret Service Investigates Alleged Hack That May Have Compromised First Lady's Passport
By ALEXANDER MALLIN and JOHN PARKINSON Sep 22, 2016, 1:56 PM ET
The Secret Service said today that it is “aware” of the “alleged email hacking of a White House employee” that may have compromised the private passport information of First Lady Michelle Obama along with the communications of several White House staffers.
The hacking group DC Leaks posted on its Twitter account this morning what appears to be a scanned copy of the first lady’s passport, along with several White House staffers’ private communications.
The Secret Service would not confirm the authenticity of the photo or communications.
However, asked about the tweets in question, Secret Service spokeswoman Nicole Mainor said in a statement to ABC News, “obviously the Secret Service is concerned any time unauthorized information that might pertain to one of the individuals we protect, or our operations, is allegedly disclosed.”
