So it seems Anon just loves to have fun.

 

 

 

(CNN) John McCain's campaign said Wednesday it has contacted "appropriate authorities" over a report that Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin's personal e-mail had been hacked.

 

 

 

"This is a shocking invasion of the Governor's privacy and a violation of law," campaign manager Rick Davis said in a statement. "The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these emails will destroy them. We will have no further comment."

 

 

 

The statement came hours after a user on the Web site WikiLeaks said he had gained access to Palin's Yahoo e-mail account and gained access. Screenshots of the e-mail messages and photos of the Alaska governor's family were published on that Web site and later on gossip Web site gawker.com.

 

 

 

FBI Spokesman Eric Gonzalez in Anchorage, Alaska confirms to CNN an investigation is underway.

 

 

 

"We are aware of the allegations and we are coordinating with Secret Service as far as the allegation that someone has hacked into Governor Palin's personal e-mail account," he said. "We are going to be working a joint investigation with Secret Service on this."

 

 

 

Brian Hale, an FBI spokesman in Washington, also confirms the FBI has been contacted about the incident. Two federal law enforcement sources say the FBI and Secret Service would have concurrent jurisdiction normally on a matter such as this, but it remains to be seen if the Secret Service will take the lead on the investigation because Palin is a protectee.

 

 

 

The e-mails shown include one from July between Palin and Alaska Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell and another dated earlier this week from Amy McCorkell, the woman Palin appointed to the Governor's Advisory Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse in 2007.

 

 

 

Palin has faced criticism for using a private e-mail account to conduct some state business prompting critics to allege she was attempting to hide information from the public record.

 

 

 

 

FROM GAWKER

 

 

 

Did the internet just cause Sarah Palin to destroy evidence? The potential Veep is in a bit of trouble for conducting state business using her personal, unarchived email address ([email protected]) instead of her official account (which is, of course, subject to laws requiring the retention of government records). Emails from that Yahoo account are already being sought in connection with the Troopergate investigation. Now comes word that Anonymous, the fun-loving Internet trouble-makers based loosely around the message board 4Chan, gained access to another Palin email account: [email protected]. 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?

 

 

 

Ok, sad thing first: a good Samaritan reset the password and tried to alert Sarah. But he also posted the new password, causing multiple people to try to log in at once, freezing the account for 24 hours. And now, the account has been deleted! Which is, as we said, maybe destruction of evidence? So for now this is, we think, all we'll get to see from this email account (if anyone finds evidence of saved emails, let us know.)

 

 

 

The full timeline of events, with corroborating evidence of the legitimacy of these screengrabs, is here. Here's why it all looks convincing:

 

 

 

* The emails to Ivy Frye, a Palin aide who's mentioned in the earlier email stories specifically wondering how best to hide her correspondence with the governor.

 

* The attached contact list (below) features an email address for husband Todd Palin that is legit. As well as an apparently genuine phone number for Bristol Palin and an address for Beth Leschper, Palin's deputy communications director.

 

* The email from Amy McCorkell, a known associate of Palin's from Wasilla who might have the governor's personal email address.

 

* Emails to and from Lt Governor Sean Parnell about a local radio talk host.

 

* Calls to the phone number listed for Bristol Palin apparently go to her voicemail.

 

* The public profile for the gov.palin address dates its last update to April of this yearwell before she became McCain's running mate. So if it's a hoax, it's a hoax that began long before anyone outside of Alaska cared about Palin.

 

* We haven't seen these family photos before. Have we?

 

* The previously accessible public profiles for gov.sarah@yahoo and gov.palin@yahoo were both deleted at the same time.

Heh.

 

 

 

I mean OMG PEOPLE ARE SENDING HER PRAYERS OMFG SHE DONT NEED NO PRESANCHY SHE DUM

Palin-0 Internet-1 :lol:

So now her emails must be released to the public? LOL @ Anon finding "dirt" if there's anything. There's more then prayers, according to gawker there's personal family pictures never seen and other emails.

:lol: Time to send her an email...

Why would anyone who uses an email for something this important be using Yahoo?

should've used gmail

Posts on /. say that her account wasn't "hacked" - she was stupid enough to use her zip code as the password and someone guessed it (I can't find confirmation of this though).

When will they realise that the cyber world is NOT a safe place?

 

Jesus Christ, big deal. E-mails are hacked every day. Chances are she gave her password out, anyway.

She can't even keep the password of her e-mail and yet she's running for vice-president? :ohnoes:

We can not trust her with National Security...that's for sure. She would use yahoo to send emails about very important stuff. Maybe even use palin.vicepresident@yahoo and get McCain to use yahoo since Obama frequently says in his commercials that he can't even use a computer.

Because she obviously has leaked the names of every CIA agent in her email.

 

 

 

OH WAIT.

 

 

 

Jesus Christ people, she's governor of Alaska. She's probably more cunning, if not smarter, than you.

I doubt it.

I was aiming it more at newsfolks that make a big deal out of something as inconsequential as this.

 

 

 

Of course, newspeople are stupid anyways.

 

 

 

Nancy Grace. >_<

17 pages long man. how could you have missed it?

If she can't keep her own e-mail safe, why should we trust her with a whole countries saftey?

 

 

 

A New Campaign Slogan:

 

 

 

McCain/Palin: not rly sure how teh internets work.

Because she obviously has leaked the names of every CIA agent in her email.

 

 

 

OH WAIT.

 

 

 

Jesus Christ people, she's governor of Alaska. She's probably more cunning, if not smarter, than you.

 

 

 

Well, based on her assertions about foreign policy and knowledge of the Bush Doctrine, which were espoused during her interview with Charlie Gibson, and based on the fact that I know she was forced to memorize talking points without any analysis of her own, I would have to disagree with you.

Truly, a teenage forum-goer is more fit to be VP of a powerful nation than the governor of Alaska. Why didn't we think of it before?

 

 

 

Actually, anon should be our next president. In the information age, we need someone(s) with uber internet skills.

Not even single thing of Sarah Palin has to go on your thread. The way you started your thread was on the base that McCain choose her as his running mate. Not on the base that it would track and post every single news of her.

Well, after all, she does believe in creationism. This is SO funny and made my night. LMAO.

Why would anyone who uses an email for something this important be using Yahoo?

 

 

 

My mom uses hotmail. These are not government emails, persay. These are informal messages from family, friends, and coworkers.

 

 

 

Her public email address is just that. Someone with no life went out of their way to guess the password which like most Americans was very easy. My personal emails are obscenely easy. My professional email password is incredibly difficult.

 

 

 

and get McCain to use yahoo since Obama frequently says in his commercials that he can't even use a computer.

 

 

 

Have bamboo chutes jammed into your fingernails and your fingers broken repeatedly for years and see how well you can type. He understands how a computer works, he just can't physically use a computer. As in his hands can not type. He can't use a typewriter for that same reason.

I don't see why they need to involve the FBI or SS. Kinda over the top... I also find it deliciously ironic that the gov't likes to spy on people and invade their privacy and then it happens to the VP nominee. That'll do Anon, that'll do.

Am I missing something? What does bamboo chutes and fingers broken have to do with McCain?

This would be so awesome if I was the one who got into the email account. I'd say to my friends "hah yea I was on Sarah Palin's email yesterday wreaking havoc." :lol:
