journalist Carl Bernstein, the hacker “Guccifer” has returned to his 
bread and butter criminality, breaking into the e-mail account of an 
Obama administration official who heads the National Intelligence 
Council.

The breach of Christopher Kojm’s personal msn.com account appears to 
have occurred within the past week, based on screen grabs from his 
account that were forwarded to TSG by the hacker.

Kojm, 57, is chairman of the National Intelligence Council (NIC), whose 
officers provide strategic assessments on future threats and trends to 
the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (which was formed

intelligence agencies).

Pictured at right, Kojm is a former congressional staffer who has worked 
as a senior adviser to the Iraq Study Group and deputy executive 
director of the 9/11 Commission. Following the 2008 presidential

focusing on national security matters. In mid-2009 he was appointed to 
lead the NIC.
