Private Bush family information, including correspondence from both President Bushes, is said to have been compromised by a hacking attack.

According to The Smoking Gun, hackers broke into several email accounts owned by members of the Bush family.

The alleged attacks are the latest high-profile hacks to come to light. Earlier this week, hackers attacked several American media organizations, including The New York Times, and forced Twitter to reset as many as 250,000 account passwords as a precaution.

The Smoking Gun said that the Bush hackers broke into at least six email accounts, including that of George W. Bush's sister, Dorothy Bush Koch. Correspondence that was compromised was said to have been sent between 2009 and 2012 and included, among other things, George W. Bush's home address.
