Hackers say they have gained access to U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's Yahoo account and published some of its contents on the Wikileaks Web site.
On Wednesday, Wikileaks published several screen shots of Yahoo e-mail messages, e-mail addresses of Palin family members and associates, and other data that hackers claim to have obtained from Palin's private Yahoo account.
One e-mail message appears to be from Alaska Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell, complaining to Palin about an interview by Alaska radio show host Dan Fagan. "Arghhh! He is so inconsistent and purposefully misleading," Palin apparently writes in response.
A hacking group known as Anonymous gained access to Palin's
gov.palin@yahoo.com account late Tuesday night and sent the information to Wikileaks, which acts as an anonymous clearinghouse for leaked documents.

Hackers claim to have cracked a web-based email account used by Republican vice presidential nominee and Alaskan governor Sarah Palin.
The US Secret Service is investigating after a group of hackers calling themselves ‘anonymous’ managed to break into a Yahoo web mail account (gov.palin@yahoo.com) Palin was using. Palin has been criticised in the past for using web mail rather than official government servers to avoid oversight.

The zip archive made available by Wikileaks contains screen shots of Palin’s inbox, two example emails, address book and a couple of family photos. The list of correspondence, together with the account name tends to re-enforce the earlier criticism of Palin’s email use.
The list of emails include an exchange with Alaskan Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell about his campaign for Congress. Another screenshot shows Palin’s inbox and an e-mail from Amy McCorkell, whom Palin appointed to the Governor’s Advisory Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse in 2007.
The e-mail, a message of support to Palin, tells her not to let negative press get to her and asks Palin to pray for McCorkell, who writes that “I need strength to 1. keep employment, 2. not have to choose.”
According to Kim Zetter of Wired Magazine, McCorkell confirmed that she did send the e-mail to Palin.
