Sarah Palin's email account broken into by hackers
"They [the Hackers] have disclosed as evidence some personal messages she received since being selected by John McCain as the Republican vice-presidential candidate."
Uh oh....
"The account - gov.palin@yahoo.com - has now been deleted, along with another account, gov.sarah@yahoo.com, which has been investigated by authorities examining the so-called "Troopergate" incident, which centres on Mrs Palin's dismissal of Walt Monegan, the Alaskan public safety commissioner."
Picked up from Digg: Hello, /b/ as many of you might already know, last night sarah palin’s yahoo was “hacked” and caps were posted on /b/, i am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story.I read though the emails… ALL OF THEM… before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor…. And pictures of her family.
I then started a topic on /b/, peeps asked for pics or gtfo and I obliged, then it started to get big...

PLease wake up. These people hacked her account because they could. They are not political. The only thing they may have in common with "liberals" is a sense of justice and a sense of humor.
Is that why it has traced back to someone on Barry's camp?
This woman is so ignorant and this shows her total lack of judgement and common sense. I went to several websites and I was able to recover Todd's e-mail, the Lieutenant Governor's e-mail, they even posted Bristol's phone number, there are personal pictures, this is so embarassing!!
I am a liberal. I think it is illegal and either immoral, if the government emails on a yahoo account was done to hide things that should have been government record, or stupid if she just didn't know better. I think this should be checked out as part of a legal investigation. That said, hacking in to her account was wrong. It was done for nothing but malicious intent and the titillation factor by some rather immature and thoughtless person/people.
I think that, if Palin does become VP or not, this should be a good lesson in internet security for her and maybe she will be more careful in selecting passwords. But whether she "did wrong" first in her use of the account, two wrongs do not make a right and this stunt was inappropriate at best.

1. That's a comment on Digg.
2. It's "copy/pasted" from a post on 4chan, in /b/ nonetheless.
Sounds credible to me!
