But here’s the thing, the thug who broke into her account got off. I’ve seen lives ruined by less egregious computer crimes.

My guess is he found some really incriminating stuff but the Cops, & McCain cut him a deal - he keeps his mouth shut - he stays out of prison.

My guess is that your guess is wrong, for two reasons:

- because he posted his disappointment long before even the hack was widely known, much less before they actually started to finger somebody.
- because my experience with use of Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. by business folks tends to show that they use it for only the most mundane sorts of work correspondence. (Actually, the bigger problem tends to be people blabbing in public on cell phones about sensitive stuff without a care about who might be eavesdropping.)

I realize that doesn't fit the template you'd prefer, but that's just what I've seen. Of course, you are free to disgregard everything I say.
