This apparently linked twitter account https://twitter.com/_CWA_ https://twitter.com/_CWA_ has posted what appears to be un-redacted screenshots of names, phone numbers and social security numbers of what I would assume the NYP article is referring to as "top American intelligence officials".
A quick crosscheck of the names and emails brings up:
* The current Senior Director for the North Africa and Yemen National Security Council for the White House
* The former Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, for the US Department of Defense
* A retired 3-star general and former Deputy National Security Advisor to the President
It says something sad about our cybersecurity preparedness that the director of the CIA is keeping this info in an aol.com account.

- pavornyoh 11y ago>_CWA_ is suspended as of a few minutes ago. What about the twitter account in the article? I am assuming that is what you meant?
- fnordfnordfnord 11y ago@phphax is still up. @_CWA_ was an account that was linked to by @phphax in a stickied post. The @_CWA_ account posted the SSN's of Brennan and about a dozen other gov't officials and mucky mucks. It appears that @_CWA_ was a sacrificial account used for the purpose of disseminating that info.
- pavornyoh 11y agoAaah, got it. Thanks.
