- bitfreak, on 09/17/2008, -75/+900This whole thing, regardless of the motive, proves the point that she's an amateur. A government official that thinks it's ok to rely on publicly available free email for Government business is an amateur and playing with fire. She's in over her head.
- fxu1989, on 09/17/2008, -25/+7844chan IS the Internet's toilet.
- acroyear2, on 09/17/2008, -30/+604Anon is anon. I don't think they have any political affiliation.
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -33/+411It's her own dumb fault for using Yahoo!
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -4/+316You're wrong. I'm an MI6 special agent and the use of WoW for confidential meetings is standard procedure.
- qdkk, on 09/17/2008, -18/+321If anything, federal and state governments personnel should be required by law to only use government furnished email accounts for all official business. Any use of non-government email accounts should be punishable. We deserve a government that is transparent to us, not one with secrets.
- blakecr, on 09/17/2008, -20/+229I am just curious to know if these emails have been subpoenaed, would this still be considered invasion of privacy? I mean I do not know what is going on in the investigation, and frankly don't really care, I am just wondering what the law would be if I was subpoenaed to disclose my emails, someone hacks them, and then the information is used against me in a court of law, would they hold up?
I know that sentence is a run on, and probably too many comas, but I don't give a *****. - bcclist, on 09/17/2008, -81/+289A digg article to the original non huffington post (bastards) link.

- smokeydbear, on 09/17/2008, -106/+305I can see it now: "Why must you liberal elites violate Sarah Palin's privacy? Can't you understand that she has a right to her personal life as well?"
Just ignore the fact that she'll willingly conflate her personal and public lives whenever it is politically expedient for her to do so. Neocons need to learn to accept that they're eventually going to reap what they sow. - TheAmazingBob, on 09/17/2008, -25/+200Someone go add all these ***** to the Obama email list.
- bcclist, on 09/17/2008, -5/+157They were friendly.
- Andrwmorph, on 09/17/2008, -237/+381I still think 4chan should be flushed down the internet toilet.

………………………..¯””^~~~~^” - delrin500, on 09/17/2008, -27/+154They are going to use this to make her seem like such a victim now... I don't think this is going to help, if anything it will help her.
- CYR1X, on 09/17/2008, -16/+133These look mildly staged. Who the ***** writes like that.
- Chaoticfist, on 09/17/2008, -21/+135While i support Obama for the presidency i hate to say but everyone here on digg(or most) would be outraged if it was obama's personal email that was hacked.
- gquaglia, on 09/17/2008, -1/+111I imagine the Secret Service will now be involved.
- gametavern, on 09/17/2008, -11/+119That's pretty ***** up dude.
- cgibbo, on 09/17/2008, -7/+102You're funny. Professionals.
The password wasn't 'hacked'. It was reset. Yahoo! has you answer some simple questions (dependant on what you choose), and the password is reset. A 12 year old with enough information could do it.
Easy peazy. - solid12345, on 09/17/2008, -5/+98Boy you must be desperate to go for the pregnant teenage chicks.
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -2/+904chan is the juicy-deuce in the internet toilet.
- kromem, on 09/17/2008, -6/+94Step 1: Change your Wireless MAC address.
Step 2: Install TOR and Privoxy
Step 3: Set up your browser to use Privoxy as proxy
Step 4: Visit a Starbucks
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit
Even if they managed to control all 3 points along the Tor path, and manage to track down the exchange to the Starbucks, you're not getting caught unless you actually went inside the Starbucks and got captured by the camera. Even then, assuming you used a BootCD or encrypt your hard drive (or cleaned up after yourself), you have plausable deniability. "Oh, hacking, wot? I was just checking kittenwars.com"
Regardless, this was a pretty lame move. If Anonymous really wanted to matter in the race, they would have kept and expanded their access, and waited until there was legitimate dirt. Then release shortly before the election. As it is, all this is going to do is be seen as an "attack" on "the poor gal." - bitfreak, on 09/17/2008, -12/+97Are you stupid or just ignorant? I hate my country because I am liberal? You idiot, I am an Iraq veteran, I served my country, got shot four times while serving, and came home on stretcher. What the hell have you done?
The woman used a public, free email service to conduct government business. In most companies you could get fired for it (my company has an EXPLICIT policy against this). Some parts of the federal Government would put you in prison; in some cases it's a felony.
It was inappropriate to hack her account, on that I agree. She is still sidestepping. And if she was truly for open and transparent government, as she has stated in her speeches, why the need for back channel communications?. - tastypaste, on 09/17/2008, -14/+98As much as I can't stand her mother, it's not Bristol's fault she was born to these deplorable people. Let's do what Barack Obama has suggested and leave the kids out of this. Bug the ***** out of her mother's phone and email if you really want, but don't punish these kids because their parents are douchebags.
- SillyRabbits, on 09/17/2008, -10/+92Wow, whoever did this is going to be in for an unpleasant surprise. They may have thought it was cute, and think that people get away with it all the time. However, they forgot that this was the e-mail of a candidate for the VP of the United States. The reason people don't normally get caught is because it usually doesn't warrant the use of every available tool to track them down. That's not going to be the case here. And, it's far, far easier to track this stuff down when you are the US government and don't have to worry about pesky legal issues.
- rodted2, on 09/17/2008, -2/+83do you have a license to kill in WoW?
- pegothejerk, on 09/17/2008, -14/+93it's not hard to guess "jesusesfuturewife", "polarbearssuck", "diehippiesdie", "oilmoneyhaha", or "votersaredumb" in the password field and eventually get one right.
- andrew606, on 09/17/2008, -27/+100were there any nude pics? ***** or gtfo
- kingofinternet, on 09/17/2008, -12/+84this is a little too convenient.
alaska investigators seek private emails. hackers hax0r the account. account deleted. evidence gone! - bcclist, on 09/17/2008, -38/+107Bristol Palin's cellphone number - from the yahoo inbox - 907-982-9061. Give it a whirl.
- LittleDas, on 09/18/2008, -2/+68Done
- Beevo, on 09/17/2008, -5/+717 proxies and what not...
- MarzipanBabies, on 09/17/2008, -1/+66You weren't supposed to tell anyone about those...
- Spuy767, on 09/17/2008, -11/+72And deservedly so, if someone did this to Obama, this board would be in upheaval calling for the head of whoever did it.
- MagnumVP, on 09/17/2008, -9/+70Here's a thought. If the email was "hacked" then none of the information in the inbox can be used against her in court. I can hear the lawyers now, "Your Honor, those emails were planted there by these hackers. They even admitted to hacking the account"
- skilless, on 09/17/2008, -2/+60wtf? specific goal?
lulz is specific? - ryan83189, on 09/17/2008, -46/+104Isn't this kind of, ya know, illegal? And don't give me that "It should be made publicly available" *****, I agree transparency would be great, but not like this. They hacked her account and released that info without her permission. HuffPo published the result of the crime, and some the screencaps are hosted on HuffPo servers but it looks like the wikileaks is gone (gee I wonder why). Huffington post has been on the target list for republicans quite some time and this is just the reason to attack. I regret burring this, it needs to be made public, now.
- laserdog, on 09/17/2008, -3/+60In fairness, if you have to pigeon-hole the politics of hackers it's likely anarchist, not liberal.
- shenmueguru, on 09/17/2008, -12/+65Erm...any proof this is real?
- SillyRabbits, on 09/17/2008, -3/+55"these are professionals. not ur run of the mill dorm room idiots."
Come on, it's Yahoo e-mail, not exactly the pinnacle of computer security they bypassed. If they were real professionals they'd certainly know better than to try this. I think you far underestimate what the US government has the ability to do on the internet - if they want. This is a case where they "will want to". - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -4/+564chan is more of the septic tank, the toilet is too clean.
- cadmiumpaint, on 09/17/2008, -24/+76these screen shots are on dozens of sites, and huffpo wasn far from the first to release them.
since the email has been hacked, the account has been deleted. which means that the GOP was prob behind this as an attempt to destroy evidence and blame "liberals" - HarryRag, on 09/17/2008, -8/+59I'll be surprised if this is real and not fake.
- hinchb, on 09/17/2008, -8/+58Politicians are supposed to use government email as it promotes transparency in government. She has consistently used personal emails for government purposes to subvert guidelines about keeping and showing her communications. Even her republican counterparts are calling for the release of her emails. Some parts of your life while being a 'public servant' aren't supposed to be private for good reason.
- latrosicarius, on 09/17/2008, -2/+52There is no "group" called anonymous
- Taiyoryu, on 09/17/2008, -2/+52If all the hackers got were two example emails, the list of email subject lines from the first page, a list of folders and contacts, then I'd say they are the amateurs when it comes to espionage. If you gain access to an information source you don't change the password, plaster 15 minutes worth of screenshots saying "look what I did", and then hand over access right back. The group that hacked MediaDefender did a much more thorough job than these guys. Seriously all they did was show that Palin uses personal email accounts for government work. Guess what? That's common knowledge.
If you're going to do something wrong, at least do it right. Criminals these days have no pride in their work. - BigVi, on 09/17/2008, -9/+56Whats funny is she set up these accounts with the intention of dodging the Alaska Freedom of Information Act. If you dont want to play by the rules, you cant whine when others dont as well.
Yes they broke the law, but so did she. - kurupttek, on 09/17/2008, -22/+68I call ***** look at the screenshoot they look fake and the "Hacker" uses firefox 2 and firefox 3 plus a crappy yahoo toolbar to add inbox is comparatively short. 174 msgs. with 13 in the last 12 days. this is not her main email account
http://s405.photobucket.com/albums/pp134/anoncrack ... - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -8/+53Why, you ***** retard? They didn't hack anything.
