Screenshots Show Hackers Deleting Data from Clinton Campaign Chief’s iPhone

Hackers may have just wiped John Podesta’s iPhone and iPad after gaining access to his iCloud account, along with his Gmail inbox and Twitter account.

Podesta, who serves as Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, had his private emails dumped online by WikiLeaks on October 13.

As evidence points out, the WikiLeaks staff failed once again to remove personal details from the leaked documents, which has happened quite often in the past months, even drawing criticism from Edward Snowden for failing to sanitize leaks.

Hackers took control of Podesta’s Twitter account

According to the hackers, who posted their shenanigans on 4chan, one of the emails listed Podesta’s Gmail password, which was “Runner456.”

The hackers claim to successfully gained access to Podesta’s email, and then requested a password reset for his Twitter account, later sending out a now-deleted tweet that read “I’ve switched teams. Vote Trump 2016. Hi pol.”

The “pol” mention is a shoutout to the Pol 4chan group, where the now-deleted discussions took place. For the full article click here
