Scroll for updates…Wired News confirms…
Sometime early this morning, between approximately 3:00am - 4:00am, members of an infamous group of hackers broke into Gov. Sarah Palin’s private Yahoo e-mail account. The incriminating discussion threads included screenshots of Palin’s e-mail and private e-mail addresses of her contacts. The threads have since been deleted.
Hacking e-mail is a federal crime. A TV anchor who broke into his colleague’s e-mail account recently pleaded guilty and faces a maximum five years in prison.
The law will catch up to the hackers, but what about the lowlifes who are now gleefully splashing the alleged contents of Palin’s private e-mail account all over the Internet?
The Gawker smear machine — see here for all the background you need — has posted private family photos of Palin’s children that were apparently stolen from the e-mail account.
They have used Bristol Palin’s illegally obtained private cell phone number from her mom’s private account, recorded her voicemail message, and posted it on their website.
They have reprinted her husband Todd’s private e-mail address and son Track’s private e-mail address.
You think this is just a harmless prank? Those of you who have had to deal with break-ins and identity theft know exactly what a burdensome process it is to recover from crimes like this.
Gawker knowingly and deliberately published illegally obtained photos of the Palin children.
Where are the privacy absolutists now?
You think Palin Derangement Syndrome is bad now? These by-any-means-necessary lunatics are just warming up.
Let me repeat what I said about Nick Denton and his slime businesses in 2006. It’s every bit as relevant now. And I expect the same cowards who said nothing then to remain silent about the violations of the Palin family’s privacy now:
Secret Service won’t like this.
McCain has to get medieval on the democRATS.
Otherwise, is honor is in shreds.
BULL!
Does anyone here HONESTLY think that anyone get punished for this stuff, leta lone caught? NO!
Get real. These people are the majority, and they can do whatever they damn well please.
Yahoo being a Bay Area company is probably infested with liberals.
bttt
YAHOO is not safe.
People need to be aware their email and any and all transactions they conduct via YAHOO are vulnerable to hacking.
Spread the word. YAHOO is not safe.
This is a small bunch of evil (yes evil) haters who delight in causing pain and feel justified because the people they smear think differently from them.
It is time the majority of citizens wake up and stand up.
We have sat around and ignored this stuff to our, our children's and our country's peril. So much brainwashing has gone on, I just hope it is possible TO stand against it.

You’re wrong, Old Sarge. These pukes will brag about it and they WILL be found.
They WILL get them! You can put money on it!
This is serious stuff, very serious!
What do you expect from the demoncraps “Culture of Corruption”?
People will be caught and go to prison. Just trust me on this one.
I’m sure an Obama DOJ would investigate thoroughly.
I’m starting to have my doubts about Palin...
First with trying to ban books that hadn’t been written yet,
Then we find out she bought her own tanning bed with her own money when we all know Alaska gets plenty of sunshine for 6 months a year...
And now, NOW we find out she had a YAHOO! account?!?
These are scandalous items, people.
I’m so glad we have William Ayers’ protege and one of Reverend Wright’s flock to guide us in these troubled times.
Ping!
I disagree. Wasn’t there a site where you could down load tunes for free. Remember Napster? The record companies went after individuals and put a halt almost over night to illegal downloads.
The computer is a two edged sword. If you can see out, someone can see in. It’s the first phase of Big Brother eventually watching all of us...
In fact, in a world where terrorists have access to nuclear weapons, that might be eventually what happens. A totalitarian state that has robots through a computer eye watching every inch of the planet.
Enjoy these last days on earth, My Friend...because there will soon be no place to hide.

This will not be some overworked assistant DA somewhere looking into this, it will be the Secret Service. I suspect this is likely a federal crime since it was over the wires and crossed state lines, and furthermore I would expect that the Secret Service has very legitimate security concerns as a result of this.
People will be caught and go to prison. Just trust me on this one.
Couldn’t agree with you more...YAHOO has alot to lose regarding this hack job. If the perp isn’t found, watch the exodus of customers leave the flock...me included. SOMTHING will happen. SS will hunt this person down like a prized Carrabou! :)
shows that McCain not sending emails is the smart one.
