Sarah Palin's e-mails got hacked.

by farrell.brandon - 10/2/08 4:19 PM

Noticed this on a blog at

http://blog.trustedid.com/?p=667

"Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s private Yahoo e-mail account was hacked, and some of its contents were posted on the Internet.

A group of hackers, known as Anonymous, took credit for the intrusion, and published screenshots of e-mail messages and photos belonging to Palin on WikiLeaks."

It's almost funny, but I wonder if you can call a group that calls itself "Anonymous" a "group" per se? Is this the same "anonymous" that "anonymously" frequents the big 4chan messageboards?

(NT) You're about 2 weeks late on this.

Hi Ed,

Any news already on who did it? Are the rumours about a certain guy already confirmed? Is he arrested? Is he convicted?
I didn't follow the details last week, but I'm sure you did. Can you tell us?

CSI: Series of Tubes?

What's interesting is that they actually got proof of the hacking, as well as having a group member actually contact the victim. Maybe we’ll get an election edition of CSI where Horatio puts on his glasses and puts away a computer nerd.
