Sarah Palin's email hacked by anon

[archibaldcrane]

wasn't anything important on them.

On the ones we saw screenshots of, but it really seems like the raider got scared and gave it up to /b/ (who ruined the lulz) before he really got into it.

And while I agree with Fhqwghads, I also understand the fear - this isn't small time, this is secret service, lolFBI, etc.

I call BS on this entire affair.

simply because no official report says anything about Anon, that was thrown on there via interwebs and a few sources picked up on it.

and it's extremely convenient for her, now that her email address has been tempered with.

@ yahoo.com? I kind of expect political candidates to have their own domain email.

[archibaldcrane]

Guartz and Wafik...you guys must have...not really read anything at all about this...

...at all.

I'd break it down piece by piece..but...c'mon. Just read the links about it, this was all over 4chan before it was all over CNN, and the personal email thing is a significant point of contention in the current legal probe against her.

anon needs to go back to protesting scientology imo

God no, worst thing to ever happen to 4chan.

@ yahoo.com? I kind of expect political candidates to have their own domain email.

she has both but has to use her yahoo account to send emails of a nonbusiness nature legally.

[MayorBee]

Sounds to me like /b/ is just taking credit for something they wish they had thought of doing first.

[Remyo]

funny it turned out to be the son of a democratic representative from Tennessee.

[archibaldcrane]

Here's a good rundown of the events, including from the mouth of the "hacker".

Sucks that he's the son of a Democratic legislator, gives more credence to the people who don't care to understand /b/ and want to pin it on an "Obama crony".

Hello, /b/ as many of you might already know, last night sarah palin’s yahoo was “hacked” and caps were posted on /b/, i am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story.
In the past couple days news had come to light about palin using a yahoo mail account, it was in news stories and such, a thread was started full of newfags trying to do something that would not get this off the ground, for the next 2 hours the acct was locked from password recovery presumably from all this bullshit spamming.
after the password recovery was reenabled, it took seriously 45 mins on wikipedia and google to find the info, Birthday? 15 seconds on wikipedia, zip code? well she had always been from wasilla, and it only has 2 zip codes (thanks online postal service!)
the second was somewhat harder, the question was “where did you meet your spouse?” did some research, and apparently she had eloped with mister palin after college, if youll look on some of the screenshits that I took and other fellow anon have so graciously put on photobucket you will see the google search for “palin eloped” or some such in one of the tabs.
I found out later though more research that they met at high school, so I did variations of that, high, high school, eventually hit on “Wasilla high” I promptly changed the password to popcorn and took a cold shower…

this is all verifiable if some anal /b/tard wants to think Im a troll, and there isn’t any hard proof to the contrary, but anyone who had followed the thread from the beginning to the 404 will know I probably am not, the picture I posted this topic with is the same one as the original thread.
I read though the emails… ALL OF THEM… before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor…. And pictures of her family
I then started a topic on /b/, peeps asked for pics or gtfo and I obliged, then it started to get big
Earlier it was just some prank to me, I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be, just like all of you anon out there that you think there was some missed opportunity of glory, well there WAS NOTHING, I read everything, every little blackberry confirmation… all the pictures, and there was nothing, and it finally set in, THIS internet was serious business, yes I was behind a proxy, only one, if this shit ever got to the FBI I was fucked, I panicked, i still wanted the stuff out there but I didn’t know how to rapidshit all that stuff, so I posted the pass on /b/, and then promptly deleted everything, and unplugged my internet and just sat there in a comatose state
Then the white knight fucker came along, and did it in for everyone, I trusted /b/ with that email password, I had gotten done what I could do well, then passed the torch , all to be let down by the douchebaggery, good job /b/, this is why we cant have nice things.
