| Senior officials at the White House were tricked by a self-described UK-based "email prankster" and made at least one cyber security official believe that he was Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law.
The prankster managed to present himself as White House senior adviser Kushner, former chief of staff Reince Priebus and recently-nominated ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman Jr. In one set, the prankster posed as Mr Kushner in a message sent to Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert.
"Tom, we are arranging a bit of a soiree towards the end of August," the fake Kushner on an Outlook account wrote to the official White House email account of Mr Bossert, the CNN reported.
Mr Bossert wrote back: "Thanks, Jared. With a promise like that, I can't refuse. Also, if you ever need it, my personal email is" (redacted).
