>>Not blaming the victim but simply stating that a governor of a state should not trust the security of their communication to a company that has very little e-mail security.
It would be like if you were to leave the front door of your house wide open when you were on vacation and were robbed.
The burglars are criminals but you used poor judgement in leaving your front door wide open.<<
I firmly agree with that concept. However, what happened here is that the burglars disconnected the alarm system, picked the lock and then stole your stuff.
Not really. What happened here is that Governor Palin used an email service that has a long history of security problems. And using ANY third party email system leaves you open to having the people that run the place.
Not wise.
