Sarah Palin’s Emails

Posted in Hacking, Politics by Elliott Back on September 17th, 2008.

Gawker is running an interesting story, Sarah Palin’s Personal Emails, about how Sarah Palin’s personal emails were leaked to Wikileak’s Sarah Palin Yahoo inbox 2008. Apparently an unknown individual loosely associated with the anti-Scientology movement Anonymous obtained access to gov.sarah@yahoo.com, Sarah Palin’s email address, and took some screenshots of the emails he found there:

It looks legit! The offending posts, screenshots, heretofore unseen family photos, and emails have all been deleted from Imageshack and 4Chan. But we have them. You want to read Sarah Palin’s email?

It’s kind of sad to see Palin’s email only has 174 total messages. I’ve been using email for hopefully less time than her, yet my gmail account has 48,163 email messages in it (say three years worth. Perhaps John McCain picked a running mate for VP as technically inept as he is.

Disclosure: I think Sarah Palin sucks for a VP pick.

Update: The suspect who allegedly hacked Sarah Palin’s email is University of Tennessee student David Kernell. His father is democratic state representative Mike Kernell. Interesting…

    Yes, I want to read the emails and learn for myself WHY she was so concerned about being able to get around public disclosure laws.
