Anonymous Hacks Palin's Email account!

Post Reply New Topic

From what I've heard, nothing important was revealed. Just usual correspondence stuff.

Actually, the titles of many of the emails suggests strongly that she was using a 'personal' account to conduct government business, which is prohibited by Alaskan law. The emails carried titles like "Confidential Ethics Matter" and "Meeting with the Governor" ... that alone reveals something important - that Palin was trying to operate outside the law.

It also demonstrates that if hacker kiddies can can break into such unauthorized accounts, the intelligence services of foreign countries could do the same thing. So jail the hackers for breaking the law, and thank them for teaching us a lesson that didn't cost very much.

but what about those people that got away with vandalising an energy plant, and they got of because they were raising proper awareness..??

I think if the hacker uncovers information which could incriminate someone else it should become a civil crime

Well, I didn't think that the Greenpeace activists were justified in what they did - I have no problem with raising awareness, but don't think it allows them to graffiti or otherwise damage property. And I don't think that these hackers were justified either - the investigation of Troopergate by the Alaska government had requested various emails, including those ... that was the proper way to go about it.



I don't understand the logic behind that, and I am not sure what you mean by 'civil crime' - although I am quite familiar with the distinction between civil law and criminal law. What if a burglar uncovered evidence that the owner of a house he broke into was a mass murderer?? Should we charge the burglar with six counts of murder 1 and give him the electric chair? That makes no sense - people should be held accountable for for their own actions.

Why not grow a pair of cojones and just shoot her at a rally?

What's SOHH?

Now they're mumbling about attacking Fox News. Wonder how that's going to go over?

Was there a purpose behind hacking Sarah Palin's e-mail account or was it just domestic terrorism? People want to bring her down pretty bad, it seems. Why not grow a pair of cojones and just shoot her at a rally?

Oh and Warsie, I'll be damned if you're not as white as my mother.

This kind of thing seems motivated by nothing but malice and vanity.

Hackers, use your skills for good instead of evil

and you'll have all the legitimate success, legitimate wealth, and legitimate happiness you could ever want.

so?.. was there anything bad in the email?.. do you think maybe it was a publicity stunt?..

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 BS 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 s**t ever got to the FBI I was f****d, 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 f****r 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.

my fellow /b/rothers, in 2 days the rest of the Palin emails will be leaked by members of the Legion. 3 minutes before a newfag and possible moralfag changed the password, screenshots of all the emails got taken by a fellow /b/rother in california who has since sent them off to a safe location in a foreign country. The emails are being examined at this moment. The truth will be known that Sarah Palin was using her yahoo account to circumvent the FOIA that could possibly be used against her in a Federal investigation. The most I can say from what I have been told in IRC is this, YOU WILL BE SHOCKED BY THE CONTENTS. The emails will be released slowly so the media can slowly digest each one. Anonymous always delivers.

You don't understand. It was wrong to get into Palin's e-mail regardless of good or bad security. The act of hacking as self-justifying? No.
