During the alleged breach, CWA also found a phone number listed in the account.
“I called it and asked for Mark,” Cracka said to Motherboard, “and he’s like ‘I don’t know you but you better watch your back’ and then he hung up and I kept calling and he was getting mad then he didn’t pick up.”
In order to verify the claim, Motherboard called the number and while they received no answer, the voicemail seemed to indicate the phone belonged to Giuliano. (RELATED: U.S. Secrets At Risk After Ashley Madison Hack)
“We didn’t target him for anything interesting, we targeted him because FBI are [sic] investigating us,” Cracka said.
FBI representative Jillian Stickels declined to comment on the matter.
The attacks on high level government officials is nothing new for this group.
