Steven Bucci, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense who is now with The Heritage Foundation, tells Fox News' Gregg Jarrett that he believes that the hack is probably bigger than is being publicized at the moment.  While being interviewed about the situation in Paris and the United States' response to the increasing threat of terrorism, the news about the hacking broke.

Responding to Jarrett's question about the leak of possible personal personnel information posted on Twitter by ISIS, Bucci says "...[T]hey probably have hacked into more than just the Twitter feed because the Twitter feed is completely unclassified public... site that has nothing to do with classified information and really shouldn't even have personal information about those guys.  So if they're (putting) that kind of stuff out... on the 'net then they've hacked into something besides the Twitter feed or in addition to it."

The video from Fox News is below.  Jarrett's question and Bucci's response begin at the :58 second mark:
