Mod note: Do no post any screenshots of Governor Palin's Yahoo account on Free Republic.
Thank you.
On the heels of media reports that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was using a private Yahoo e-mail account (gov.palin@yahoo.com) to conduct Alaska state business, hackers have broken into the account and posted evidence of the hijack on Wikileaks.
An activist group calling itself ‘anonymous’ claimed responsibility for the compromise and released screenshots, photographs and the e-mail addresses of several people close to Palin, including her husband Todd and assistant Ivy Frye.

Frogmarches, please.
Is this the anti-Scientology “anonymous”?
Wikileaks better call their lawyers quick. They just may have stepped into a giant pile of legal liability know as the Federal Criminal Code.
They will go to jail if they do.
WIKILEAKS.COM
It's wikileaks.org, not .com.
The site is supposedly in Nairobi, Kenya:

Also, I note the hackers used ctunnel.com to hide their tracks when they accessed the Yahoo account.
I would certainly HOPE that they don’t show up here as a “ show and tell”!!! FOR GOD’S SAKE LET’S GIVE THIS WOMAN A BREAK!!!!!!!!
Breaking into this EMail account was a Federal level felony, according to reports.
Also, apparently, disseminating the information in this account is a felony.
She seems to write quite coherently, even in a brief email. Proper punctuation and grammar.
Democrat felons at work.
Get ready for unparallelled criminal activity, as Barack Hussein’s Illinois Senate and US Senate races provide clear evidence of sociopathic bahavior. With two different opponents, sealed divorce records were breached and exploited to besmearch the Republicans.
Barack Hussein is of course the least qualified and most bizarre serious candidate ever to run for President.
He is also the most criminal.
It may have been a bogus email account, for the stupid criminals to invade...but perfect for prosecution.
I posted that gawker link earlier and Viking Kitties zotted me.
YAHOO is part of the leftist drive-by media ...
The Internet is wide open, all up for grabs, or subpoena.
Encryption is the only thing that insures some level of security.
Never say anything you wouldn’t want to see in court.
Why is this garbage still up on the Gawker site?
Seems to me they should have been visited by men in suits by now and received an invitation to a federal hotel.
I'm hoping it was a honeypot.
