Hackers Greatest Feat if this is True : Mitt Romney's stolen tax returns. Documents delivered on encrypted thumb drives, and more copies would be sent to "all major news media outlets." - The password to unlock the tax returns will be revealed on Sept. 28 if payment is not made. A $1 million payment in "Bitcoin" Internet currency.

MittGate is similiar to WaterGate.

Mitt's accounting firm "Price Waterhouse Coopers" has said there was no evidence that anything was stolen.

He rightly feared the thumb drive might be infected with a computer virus.

"I had reached the point of seriously considering putting it in an old computer we have here in the office where we weren't worried if the hard drive got trashed or not," Burr said. "But by then we had received recommendations from our attorneys and word from the Secret Service. So we didn't look at it."

It was unclear even among experts whether the purported theft might be a hoax. The alleged culprit so far has provided no evidence that Romney's tax returns actually were stolen, such as a scan of a partial page from one of the documents. But for seasoned and committed hackers such a theft was described as entirely plausible, especially for someone who could gain physical access to a company's keyboards.
