Palin's Private Email Hacked, Posted
Around
midnight last night the Yahoo mailbox of Sarah Palin was purportedly hacked by
the group known as "Anonymous". The group is best known for
it's exposing of unethical behavior by the Church of Scientology. Some
sample emails and screenshots of the mailbox were posted on Wikileaks.org.
The site is currently unavailable but said screenshots are also posted at Huffington Post.
It is not confirmed that the actual account was hacked or that the emails are
valid or a hoax but the "Anonymous" group and Wikileaks.org are well
known. Here is a quote from Wikileaks' press release:
The internet activist group 'anonymous', famed for its exposure of unethical behavior by the Scientology cult, has now gone after the Alaskan governor and republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
At around midnight last night the group gained access to governor Palin's email account ... and handed over the contents to the government sunshine site Wikileaks.org.
Governor Palin has come under media criticism in the past week for using pseudo-private email accounts to avoid Alaskan freedom of information laws.
The zip archive made available by Wikileaks
contains screen shots of Palin's inbox, two example emails, governor Palin's address box and a couple of family photos. While the emails released so far reveal little, the list of correspondence appears to re-enforce the criticism that Palin is mixing governmental and personal affairs.





I think I may have double posted this, my apologies.
Do you think this could have been fabricated to create drama?

Is Dick Cheney spying on Sarah Palin?
Is she a National Security risk?
So Sarah how do you like it when your records are compromised, I sure hope to hear you speak out about this breach!!!!
So Sarah cry me a river, and then build a bridge, and get over it.
