A senior U.S. intelligence official called the hack "the most damaging compromise of the security of the President of the United States that I've seen in decades, all caused by a careless staffer who compromised information outside government systems merely for convenience."

A White House contractor's email appears to have been hacked, leaking material ranging from Michelle Obama's passport to the number of stairs the Secret Service anticipated Joe Biden would be climbing during a trip to Cleveland.

The emails were sent from the Gmail account of Ian Mellul, who is a contractor employed as an advance associate at the White House, and include correspondences with other White House employees as well

Names, social security numbers, and dates of birth for guests to vice presidential events that were to be cleared by Secret Service (these are regular citizens or staff such as caterers etc. who were to meet with the vice president).

The emails and documents are presented and archived in the exact same manner as Powell's emails.

One leaked email has 24 scanned passports attached to it, including Michelle Obama's. It was transmitted by a staffer in her office to Mellul, who then in turn forwarded that email to his personal account. The quality of the scan is high, and shows all of her personal details.

The First Lady's office at the White House declined to comment.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Thursday that "administration officials are taking a look at the information that's been disclosed" and added that the White House could not speak to the leaked information's authenticity. He also said there wasn't "any conclusion" on how was responsible.

Earnest said often contractors who are private citizens not employed by the administration on a long-term basis are used to do logistical planning ahead of visits by the president and other White House officials.

Not only do the emails contain specifics about the first lady and vice president such as meticulous schedules intended for their Secret Service protection they also reveal details about Hillary Clinton's campaign events, which the staffer was also apparently involved with.
