This hacker is liberalism personified. They have no life, no ideas, no identity of their own so they have to mimic, then steal, from others to be “validated.”

The break-in of Palin's private account is especially significant because Palin sometimes uses non-government e-mail to conduct state business. Previously disclosed e-mails indicate her administration embraced Yahoo accounts as an alternative to government e-mail, which could possibly be released to the public under Alaska's Open Records Act.

Is there any proof of this? If not, isn't it time for the public to punish news outlets who print unsubstantiated rumors as truth?

Hm. Criminal impersonation and identify theft.

‘impersonate her online to obtain her password.’

Classic social engineering hack.

What started as a prank was cut short because of panic over the possibility the FBI might investigate, the hacker wrote.

Might? Dork, the Secret Service WILL ... get ready for the knock on your door from the guys with the dark glasses and funny watches. You are in for a serious *talking to*, they don't care your party politics.

What genius wrote this story?

What difference does it make how the criminal hacked her email account?

Would it be admirable, or any less a crime if the crook had borrowed sophisticated equipment from Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible?

Sometimes I can't believe the idiocy...

This case will be an interesting test for the Secret Service. Can they catch the wrongdoers? Or will they be defeated by clever defiance and political correctness? If they succeed, the wrongdoers should go to prison,where they can enjoy their liberal inclinations. If they don’t succeed, we should all catch our breath for what is coming next!

The F.B.I. is now involved.
Article has a good description of how he did it.

because a hacker was able to impersonate her online to obtain her password
**************************************************
I’d bet 10 to 1 that someone at Yahoo offered the password to the Obama campaign or that this kid knew someone working there.. the YHOO people are pretty much as liberal as the GOOG people.

[jrawk]

WHAT did Obama know, and WHEN did he know it?
