Nancy Pelosi's personal contact information was posted online Friday night, the latest casualty of the cyberattack on the Democratic National Committee, and several people reached out to touch the House minority leader as she flew home to California, leaving her to find upon landing what she calls "scores of mostly obscene and sick calls, voice mails, and text messages."

Pelosi warned Democrats to change their number, CBS News reports, and said she changed her own Saturday morning. (More Nancy Pelosi stories.)
