Sarah 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.

Every single wikileaks server is being DoS'ed like crazy. I think we found the October Suprize.

This is not a good thing for anyone.

Watch, end of the day, into the weekend, this will be the distraction story of the campaign.
