Thank you for the links and information on the group, Lynnxz. Hackers will do whatever the hell they want just because they can. This event has nothing to do with the Democratic Party or the Obama-Biden Presidential Campaign.

Kernell, D-Memphis, cited the father-son relationship. He said he had talked to his son today, but that he talks to his son regularly. He declined further comment.

Attempts to reach the younger Kernell for comment were not successful. The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation Wednesday into the hacking, according to the Associated Press.

The alleged hacker, using the e-mail address xxxxxxxxxxxxx, posted Wednesday to a forum on the website 4chan about how he used Yahoo! Mail's password-recovery tool to obtain the Alaska's governor password.

"i am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story," xxxxxxxxxx wrote.

The hacker guessed that Alaska's governor had met her husband in high school, and knew the Republican vice presidential candidate's date of birth and home Zip code, the Associated Press reported.

Using those details, the hacker tricked Yahoo Inc.'s service into assigning a new password, "popcorn," for Palin's e-mail account, according to a chronology of the crime published on the Web site where the hacking was first revealed.

Reminder:
Do not elect individual that falls for phishing attempts.

Also:
Government business has no place in private emails, where you can claim it doesnt exist. If you use private accounts to hide public information, don't be surprised when private info becomes public.

I don't agree in the way this information was garnered. That being said: switching between public/private email accounts, and refusing to disclose government business conducted under a private email account.... is just a mite shady.

 Hello, /b/ as many of you might already know, last night sarah palin’s yahoo was “hacked” and caps were posted on /b/, i am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story. In the past couple days news had come to light about palin using a yahoo mail account, it was in news stories and such, a thread was started full of newfags trying to do something that would not get this off the ground, for the next 2 hours the acct was locked from password recovery presumably from all this bullshit spamming. after the password recovery was reenabled, it took seriously 45 mins on wikipedia and google to find the info,

Birthday? 15 seconds on wikipedia, zip code? well she had always been from wasilla, and it only has 2 zip codes (thanks online postal service!) the second was somewhat harder, the question was “where did you meet your spouse?” did some research, and apparently she had eloped with mister palin after college, if youll look on some of the screenshits that I took and other fellow anon have so graciously put on photobucket you will see the google search for “palin eloped” or some such in one of the tabs. I found out later though more research that they met at high school, so I did variations of that, high, high school, eventually hit on “Wasilla high” I promptly changed the password to popcorn and took a cold shower…

this is all verifiable if some anal /b/tard wants to think Im a troll, and there isn’t any hard proof to the contrary, but anyone who had followed the thread from the beginning to the 404 will know I probably am not, the picture I posted this topic with is the same one as the original thread. I read though the emails… ALL OF THEM… before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor…. And pictures of her family I then started a topic on /b/, peeps asked for pics or gtfo and I obliged, then it started to get big.

Earlier it was just some prank to me, I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be, just like all of you anon out there that you think there was some missed opportunity of glory, well there WAS NOTHING, I read everything, every little blackberry confirmation… all the pictures, and there was nothing, and it finally set in, THIS internet was serious business, yes I was behind a proxy, only one, if this shit ever got to the FBI I was fucked, I panicked, i still wanted the stuff out there but I didn’t know how to rapidshit all that stuff, so I posted the pass on /b/, and then promptly deleted everything, and unplugged my internet and just sat there in a comatose state Then the white knight f***** came along, and did it in for everyone, I trusted /b/ with that email password, I had gotten done what I could do well, then passed the torch , all to be let down by the douchebaggery, good job /b/, this is why we cant have nice things.

Jury convicts Palin e-mail intruder on two counts; mistrial declared on ID theft


KNOXVILLE - A federal jury this afternoon convicted Sarah Palin e-mail intruder David C. Kernell of felony destruction of records to hamper a federal investigation and misdemeanor unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer.

<snip>

The felony records destruction charge carries a maximum possible 20-year prison sentence, which is virtually certain not to be applied in this case. Federal sentencing guidelines that would apply in this case set a range of 15 to 21 months and allow for probation.

The misdemeanor count carries a maximum term of one year, and probation is also possible.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle said federal prosecutors would decide next week if they would retry the former University of Tennessee economics major on that charge.

<snip>

By Thursday, the panel had reached unanimous agreement on three of the four counts against Kernell, whose father is Democratic state Rep. Mike Kernell of Memphis. Those verdicts were not announced until this afternoon.

You're the one who's acting trollish. Do you just log on to insult people?

I'm not the one starting lame threads trying to smear completely uninvolved individuals. Apparently that's perfectly acceptable behavior in your book.

I'm still waiting for you to answer the question you conveniently ignored.
