Comments:Alaskan Governor and Republican U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's email account hacked

The blog on hackers accessing her Sarahships files is good reporting. The hackers are a combo of vigilantes & invesgative reporters. Good on them. There is a fact of life in the computer that anything you put on a computer can be found & disclosed by hackers. If you use a computer, you must live with that fact. There is no privacy or secrecy on the web.

Evidence
It's hardly surprising that you find nothing incriminating on a low-security yahoo account. Chances are that she has a work account with higher security standards as well - a VP candidate must be receiving a lot more e-mail than a few a day, as this account indicated. Whether another such account hold incriminating stuff is speculation of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.82.179.226 (talk) 15:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

The man who hacked Palin's e-mail was the son of a Democrat (and perhaps a supporter of Obama). That could be a factor in the incident. Public figures have to endure criticism anyway. --74.130.244.188 00:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

David Kernell is a good kid who used some very poor judgement. From what I gather from various sources, the Yahoo account was set up by a staffer who warned Herself that she should be sure she changed passwords, etc., to secure the account, before using it for anything of value. Granted, he had no business poking into it, and, not wanting people to mess with my stuff as well, I don't think he should expect to go unpunished, but the woman, in her typical fashion, neglected to take reasonable precautions. If you leave your diary laying around, or your purse exposed in an unlocked car, expect the worst. I don't think hard prison time is appropriate, especially if this is a first offense. Banishment from the internet, certainly, but not forever. Public service time would be appropriate, maybe a heavy load of it. 72.53.194.237 (talk) 03:18, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
