Vocativ: EXCLUSIVE: ISIS Releases Target Lists Of U.S. Officials
ISIS-affiliated hackers say they posted the lists in retaliation for an Anonymous attack that took down a main ISIS forum.
ISIS-affiliated hackers posted “wanted to be killed” lists late on Saturday that included the names of current and former U.S. government officials, Vocativ discovered.
The hackers, calling themselves the “Islamic State Cyber Army,” published what they claimed are names and addresses of people who have worked for the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, the FBI, the CIA, the National Counterterrorism Center, the National Guard and other American organizations and agencies. They also posted what they said are names, addresses and pictures of U.S military personnel who have served in Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq and Afghanistan.

WNU,
Working up the list up into a format for release was probably a lot of effort, but I bet the gathering of the info wasn't. Not just this Administration, but for as long as I can remember the US has been casual (to the point of criminality) about the handling of this kind of information.
