Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, Palin email hijacking story gets worse

Posted September 17th, 2008 under Headlines Tags: ap, emails, gawker, hacked, investigation, palin, secret service, yahoo

Gawker has posted screenshots of Palin’s emails, attached images of her children, her contacts list, her daughter’s cellphone number, and some of her son’s info as well (yes, the one in Iraq).

Some of the comments thus far:

• Richard – “I’m just amazed that they have computers in Alaska.”
• Spirit Fingers – “Please, please, tell me there’s some damning evidence somewhere in here. It’s great if it’s legit, not so much if it does nothing to unearth the galactic bumble of a politician this woman is.”
• little stripes – “GOD this woman is a moron.”
• CWilson – “Your bitch (Sarah Palin) has been doing state business through Yahoo. Those e-mails belong in the public domain. What is she hiding? My suspicion is that her Yahoo account will tell the story of her decade-old affair, and her attempt to cover it up, along with a bunch of corrupt dealings.”
• PalinIsStupid – “LOL! Palin is such a moron. Congrats to whoever hacked her e-mail. I applaud you …IF YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO HAVE A WEAK PASSWORD LIKE MENTIONED ABOVE AND A SECURITY QUESTION WHICH IS EASILY GUESSED, GET THE F*CK OFF THE INTERNET!!!!!! THANKS!!”
