The FBI has served a warrant at the college residence of David Kernell, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in connection with the hacking of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s personal email account.
Kernell (20) is the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis. The FBI and Secret Service launched a formal investigation on September 17 into the hacking of one of Palin’s Yahoo email accounts.
Yahoo declined to comment September 18 on details of the investigation, citing Palin’s privacy and the sensitivity of such investigations, FOX News reported. A Department of Justice spokesman told WBIR-TV that there has been “investigatory activity” in Knoxville regarding the investigation.
