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:

First I have seen on WHO it is.

“... 20-year-old David Kernell, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and son of Democratic Tennessee state representative Mike Kernell, was caught.”

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.

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.

He posted that he was disappointed that he found nothing incriminating in her email, so his intentions are obvious.

Should be an interesting Sunday dinner at the Kernell household.

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?

Not that I know of...but I'm glad the Pus Head was caught.

The Palin family has every single right to go after this idjit...and may his Congress critter dad sweat bullets.

In his gloating, Rubico posted up screenshots of the Yahoo account complete with the full URL which included the proxy server url (ctunnel.com) appended with a unique identifier.

I hope they crucify the stupid little s***.

After a fair trial, the creep should be hanged, plain and simple.

Demoncrats are just like Terrorists, they sacrifice their children to their bizarre religion.

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.
