An anonymous individual or group is alleging that they have gained "all available 1040 tax forms" of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney by accessing computers in the Franklin office of the professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. An anonymous posting on a file sharing website states that PwC has been hacked. This same website has been used by hackers who have claimed to have infiltrated computers from companies like Apple in the past.

It certainly wont matter to his voter base.

Half are voting for him because he is a business man
a quarter are voting for him because they are republican, and Bachman/Santorum/Gingrich/Perry didn't get the nod.
And the other quarter are voting for him because they believe 4 years per lying scumbag.

The last quarter are already working on the anti Romney rhetoric for 2016.

I don't think anything is going to shake his voter base much. Hackers could uncover old videos of Bishop Romney taking liberties with pre-teens in his ward, and I don't think it would change the votes of his base.

Oh, yeah. If he does get elected, his most vocal and active supporters now are going to turn on him like a pack of wild dogs in 2016.

Yeah, I suspect hoax as well.

I doubt they would send copies to the local Democrat office, and then demand a ransom on threat of wide release.

You mean create fake and exaggerated "hacked" return
to force Romney to release his actual returns.

More plausible i think...
