How the Palin email hacker suspect was caught Thomas Lifson September 20, 2008
TGDaily, a tech site, explains how the suspected Palin email hacker, 20-year-old David Kernell, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and son of Democratic Tennessee state representative Mike Kernell, was caught. He used a proxy server supposed to anonymize his identity, but the owner was quite upset at being used to cover illegal activities, and was also contacted by the FBI. Read the further details here.
It is obvious from posts the hacker made that he was fully conscious of breaking the law.
There is some suggestion that the hacker may have a loophole. Chloe Albanesius of PC Magazine writes:

Why am I not surprised that is is a DEMONCRAT whose father is a Demoncrat state representative. I'd bet dear old dad encouraged this.
I’d like to know more about the dad.
Let’s put this in language which more can understand. Obama’s supporters hacked his opponent’s email and published them all over the internet.
Everyone who uses email should support vigorous prosecution of this punk, regardless of their political leanings.
“Mike Kernell, a longtime Tennessee state assemblyman from Memphis and a technology enthusiast, is concerned about future elections because the new machines are harder to get a look at. ”We used to be able to check the machines and see if they’d been tampered with,” he said. ”It is now almost impossible.” Mr. Kernell wonders whether he will have to hire a computer programmer in his next race to make sure the machines are working smoothly and haven’t been tampered with. ”We’ve hit a brick wall,” he said.”

I don’t know if I care how he was caught, I do care if the little treasonous bastard is going to be or not be punished and imprisoned.
I care if he and his family suffer for this little creeps misdeeds and if there are finally consequences for the leftist traitors in our country.
When will the leftist traitors in this country ever get pay back?
I hope the boy gets a little more education learning how to make little rocks out of big rocks. Just another ‘RAT maggot who should be in prison.
Should be an interesting Sunday dinner at the Kernell household.
Ya - when are we gonna hear “book ‘em, Dano”????
Anyone have a link to a picture of the perp?
Put the little boy in general population for a few weeks or ideally years. That ought to teach him some dirty tricks.
If this had been done to Joe Biden, there would be no other news mentioned 24/7 on TV. This is a non-story to the Palin-hating networks and publications.
What are we conservatives going to do about this insanity?
WHEN will we stand up to fight the media?
The Palin family has every single right to go after this idjit...and may his Congress critter dad sweat bullets.
I hope they crucify the stupid little s***.
After a fair trial, the creep should be hanged, plain and simple.
Has he actually been “caught”? Will he be charged with anything or are we just going to give him free press and encourage more such attacks by showing that nothing (except free publicity) will result?
There were previous threads with a pic of the slob.
Suffice it to say, it was Democratic Dork City.
This is crazy. The person involved is a U.S. governor and candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States. If hacking into her emails isn't viewed as a major security threat, something's totally haywire (so what else is new?)

They are truly traitors.
couldn’t agree more.
Mmm... 
Hackers should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...
Ya’ll need to take a deep breath. Procsecute him? Hell yes. Hard time for a first offense by a kid? Probation, community service and a criminal record seem more appropriate. But at least the little prick is getting his 15 minutes in early.
Are you kidding. The MSM is only concerned that Palin had a Yahoo acct in ther first place. Insanity, no. Accessories, yes.
What is the chance he’ll get off with just probation or nothing at all ?
100%
Personally, I think we should follow Singapore’s example: Public caning for petty crimes. Not only would it result in a large drop in crime, but it would save us taxpayers untold millions, if not billions of dollars. Why waste all the money & resources locking up somebody like this? A good caning would not only teach this young man a good lesson, but would be a good lesson to others!
I’ll give him a loophole. The variance between POI and POA.
I’m not a lawyer or anything, but I’ll bet it’s too great for any of us here. ‘Rats have been working on finding a loophole for the little turd for days.
The publishers of PC Magazine have asked us to not allow any of their material to be posted here. Unfortunately your post had to be removed.
Naaaah, just send his pretty little ass to jail where he's repeatedly gang-raped by his new "husband" big bubba.
"Hey boy, you got a purty mouth!"

Have fun.
No morals: Dems have no morals.
Although I wouldn't be surprised to see him come out of it without a record, depressed but certainly not surprised.
Frankly, I would consider it a trillion dollars well spent if it did nothing else but finally bring some appearance of justice to the Democrats who up to their collective butts in so much of what ails America today. Sadly with the backing the bad guys have in the press nothing will come of any of this if there is not vigorous investigation and prosecution of every single one of them. We've discussed the administration's unwillingness to come down hard on evil ones and I don't see that this will be any different.
The only way I can see it working out would be for a few people in Congress to make such an issue of it, and obstruct any attempt at the bail out, until those who have been so complicit in the sham accounting and vote buying are forced to take some heat. I have never seen Dirty Harry or Pelosi so subdued in my years of watching them. There's something there and they are afraid it's going to get out and they won't be able to stand up to it.
I would make my demands as to what it would take to smoke out these bastards then sit back not move a finger to get the bail out ball rolling until the demands were met or being met. We would take a lot of heat, probably more than we've taken in my lifetime, but there is so much outright crime involved that once it begins to unfurl there will be no stopping it.
I don't have much time left in this dream session, so I'll wander on now and spend what I have left on Sarah!
Loophole is just another word for Liberal.
Agreed this kid should be punished but it won’t happen.
If he is - more of our ‘freedoms’ will be curtailed than necessary to punish all of us.
Names of hackers should be kept in a special list where techies from all over the world can feel free to hack their sites and disable their equipment....
Fight hackers with professional hacking.
WHEN will we stand up to fight the media?
We first have to organize .... but who will do it??? We’re all individually PO’d about this but individually we can’t do it ... I say lets vote for Chuck Norris to head this ....
“Has he actually been “caught”? Will he be charged with anything or are we just going to give him free press and encourage more such attacks by showing that nothing (except free publicity) will result?”
That is what I would like to know too! Wonder if there will be a follow up on this story when the jerk is arrested and charged. Guess I won’t hole my breath since the jerk is the son of a DEMORAT! Figures!
It was the democrat rep from the state of Washington that used the stuff...
remember there are two justice systems in this country ...those for thee and not for me...
Caught with dead girl in your car -you would go to prison... a democrat is elected to the Senate
Have a male prostitution ring working out of your apartment- you would at the least have to pay taxes on earnings, if you're a democrat, you get to chair a committee and lisp your way to a fat Congressional pension
Get blowj#bs at work from a subordinate-you'd be fired and liable for civil damages... if you're a democrat, you're revered as the greatest President ever and just a lovable rogue
Lie in a FEDERAL court under oath- you and I would see the inside of a prison... if you're a democrat , well depending on Scottish precedent and party affiliation-you get to stay on as president of the United States of America
Get caught while driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol and in an accident- stiff fine, loss of license possible jail time, if you're a democrat- wear a soft neck collar, go to rehab and have the idiots in your pathetic state elect you to Congress
smoke crack, hire prostitutes and scam away hundreds of thousands of dollars.... you and me----jail... A democrat gets to be elected Mayor of city.
"Forget" to pay taxes on rental property-jail, penalty and interests with possible forfeiture of property until debt repaid, if ever... If you're a democrat, well that's just an "honest" mistake....
Leave a car in a federal parking lot for a couple of years with no tags or registration= car towed and impounded. If a democrat-well it's just not fair, now is it?
Have a hand gun and use it to ward off burglar at home in Washington DC- jail, fines and permanent loss of the ability to get a concealed carry permit... If you're of the privileged class- you get to keep your job at the Washington Post as writer...
So you see, this poor immature mixed up crazy young kid will get counseling for his "school boy" prank.... you and I would be sitting right now in a hard, small wooden chair behind locked doors with either the temperature at 55 degrees or 95 degrees. The last bathroom break would have been 12 hours ago and you would like to know what time it is but dog gone it, those guys with the suits keep forgetting to tell you anything, they just keep asking questions and putting papers in front of your face to sign.....
Nothing is going to happen to this tool. He's a democrat. So everybody needs to move along.
I don’t see this guy losing his virginity in the next 30 years.
