Romanian intelligence service chief’s email hacked

A private email account belonging to Romania’s intelligence service (SRI) director, George Maior, was hacked by a mysterious hacker who calls himself Guccifer, the local media reported on Jan. 8.

“The hacker broke into the Yahoo email account of Romania’s chief intelligence [officer] George Maior,” Romanian internet news service, Romania-Insider, reported.

Guccifer first gained notoriety after exposing an alleged love affair between the former-U.S. State Secretary Colin Powell and presidential advisor, Corina Cretu.
