Washington:
WikiLeaks released a second installment of documents from CIA director John Brennan's hacked personal email account on Thursday, including his contacts list, and warned more were to come.
That Brennan's data was stolen was an embarrassment in itself for a US intelligence community already reeling from a series of high-profile leaks.
But none of the documents revealed so far from his personal, non-government account appear in themselves to threaten national security -- or Brennan's career.
Anti-privacy activist Julian Assange's WikiLeaks has not said how many of Brennan's documents it has, but boasted it will release more "over the coming days."
Thursday's document dump includes policy recommendations on the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan to a Senate select committee on intelligence and Brennan's contacts.
These are listed as a series of email addresses and instant messenger accounts and were presumably taken from his AOL account and converted to a text file.
They appear to be the addresses of policy academics, private sector defense and intelligence contacts, friends, family and at least one senior journalist.
A few are government email addresses, including officials in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the US Air Force.
Some are pseudonymous, such as "TexasGirl195," "Sunshine5B" and "volleyballguy."
Others bear the names of high-profile figures such as former National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, who uses an address at his law firm O'Melveny and Myers.
The current National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, appears under the government email address she used in 2008 on President Barack Obama's transition team.
'Malicious intent'
Many addresses are from The Analysis Corp, the private intelligence firm that Brennan ran between 2005 and 2008.
There are also contact addresses for sales on the online small ads site Craigslist.
On Wednesday, after a first batch of documents -- including the Brennan family's addresses and phone numbers -- were released, the CIA denounced WikiLeaks' "malicious intent."
The leaks came after it was reported that a teenaged hacker had broken into Brennan's AOL account and had taken mails and personal data.
The hacker claimed he accessed the account by tricking telecoms workers into divulging Brennan's personal information then convincing AOL to reset his password.
Earlier this week, The New York Post reported that the hacker, who described himself as an American high-school student, had called reporters to describe his exploits.
Using his purported Twitter account -- @phphax -- the youth taunted authorities with redacted images of what appeared to be government information.
The Twitter account claims the hacker is 13 years old, and expresses support for the Palestinian cause.
Hackers recently breached US government databases and stole the personal information from background checks of 21.5 million people.
Other senior US officials have recently been criticized for not properly protecting sensitive documents.
Former CIA chief David Petraeus was forced to plead guilty to improperly handling documents after it emerged that he loaned his mistress his Afghan war diaries.
And presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is under fire after she admitted that she only used a private email server during her time as secretary of state.
