Former president's computer hacked

HOUSTON (AP)Turns out even former presidents can fall prey to hackers.

A mysterious email hacker apparently accessed private photos and messages sent between members of the George W Bush family.

The US Secret Service is investigating the breach, which appeared to yield little more than a few snapshots and some family discussions.

But the incident illustrated how easily hackers can pry into private lives, even those of one of the nation's most prominent and closely guarded political clans.
