A hacker using the handle “Guccifer” hacked the email accounts of several members of the Bush family, including the AOL account of Dorothy Bush Koch, Bush 43’s sister. Among the leaked information are a lot of home numbers and addresses for Bush family members and their kids, and two pictures of George W.’s self-portraits, one each in the bathtub and shower (they aren’t nearly as salacious as that sounds).
Probably the most upsetting leaks are the photos and emails from December 2012, when the elder Bush was hospitalized. The pictures, stamped with a “GUCCIFER” watermark, show an the elderly ex-president in bed in a hospital gown, and in several emails family members begin to make plans for his funeral, which seemed imminent.
The Smoking Gun has interviewed the hacker responsible, who claims to have hacked hundreds of email accounts and long ago garnered the attention of “the Feds.”
When asked about any investigation that he’d attract from this, his only response was “i have an old game with the fucking bastards inside, this is just another chapter in the game.”
