Palin hacker's IP address linked to Tenn. student's apartment
September 22, 2008 (Computerworld) The man who traced the IP address of the hacker who accessed Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's e-mail account last week confirmed today that it belongs to an Illinois company that provides Internet service to the Knoxville, Tenn., apartment complex where the FBI served a search warrant early Sunday.
Gabriel Ramuglia, the webmaster of Ctunnel, an Athens, Ga.-based proxy service used by the hacker to mask his or her identity, acknowledged that the IP address he found in his server logs belongs to Pavlov Media, an Internet service provider based in Champaign, Ill.
According to its Web site, Pavlov Media provides Internet, television and phone services to The Commons at Knoxville, a complex that specializes in apartments for students of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
Early Sunday, WBIR, Knoxville's NBC affiliate, reported that FBI agents had searched the apartment of David Kernell, 20, at The Commons. David Kernell is the son of Mike Kernell, a longtime Democratic state legislator from Memphis.

...that ain't gonna happen, you don't spend over 400 million on just TV commercials
“provides Internet service to the Knoxville, Tenn., apartment complex” I do want the perp nailed and sent up on felony charges, but this bit of evidence is not conclusive. They need to nail it down to the apartment not the building.
...and then send him to prison.
He’s through talking. He’s now represented by an attorney.
I suspect they’ll nail it down to his laptop.
And without a lot a difficulty, either.
One can hope. Log files are typically overwritten (weekly, monthly, etc.). Hope they catch the perp and he gets time in the pen. [Expletive!]
How appropriate for this reactionary little hater. The very mention of the word "Palin" and myriad left-wing bloggers foam at the mouth.
I expect its going to be the chewbacca defense. “I was under peer pressure to do it. I was doing it to impress a girl. I was a small pawn in a much larger conspiracy. It wasn’t me, it was the one armed man. My dad is rich and a liberal. I suffer from BDS.”
He’ll never see a day in jail.
Actually I think he will. This case is of such high profile that the prosecutors will use it as an opportunity to let the world know that this is not behavior that will be tolerated. It's sort of like the IRS prosecuting the rich and famous a couple of months before April 15.
I thought it was DSB . . .
Unless he wiped his drive, the evidence will still be there even if he deleted it. Even formatting the drive will not remove all of the traces, but it doesn't sound like he was that sophisticated. He was basically a "script kiddie" who knew how to use an internet proxy and could google the answers to Sarah's security passwords.
Confidential to the world: your proxy service isn’t going to take the rap.
What you said.
An attorney provided by Obama, no doubt.
He’s the son of DEM Tenn Rep Mike Kernell, been in the Tenn House for a very long time. Hope his daddy’s position won’t save him for this crime, as so many pols kids do.
I haven’t been to DU in awhile- anywone know how they’re taking it?
Is it Lee Atwater rising from the grave or a master Rovian plot?
