alleged hacker innocent palin pleads
Sometime on Tuesday, an unknown hacker gained access to gov.palin@yahoo.com, an e-mail account that Sarah Palin has used for personal and possibly also state business in Alaska. The hacker posted the e-mail password to the /b/ group of 4Chan, a discussion site known as a haven for Web "trolls," and for a brief while, Palin was an open book. 4Chan readers trudged through her inbox, saving screen shots of her correspondence with friends and supporters, a list of her frequent contacts, and pictures of her family. Then, a good Samaritan reset Palin's password, triggering a Yahoo security measure that alerted Palin to the breach. Soon after, gov.palin@yahoo.com and another account Palin has reportedly used to conduct official business—gov.sarah@yahoo.

While plenty of folks are talking about the cracking of Sarah Palin's personal email account, the EFF is noting that the Justice Department's own interpretation of email privacy laws may actually make it difficult to prosecute the hacker under the most obvious statute, the Stored Communications Act. You see, since the DOJ would prefer that your email not be considered private, it has interpreted emails that you've opened, but not deleted, as not being subject to the SCA. That's thanks to a somewhat contorted reading of the law that suggests that an opened email is no longer considered either in temporary or intermediate storage -- nor is it considered saved for backup purposes. Those happen to be the two requirements under the law. Thus, if the hacker accessed emails that Palin had already read, the DOJ may have trouble using the SCA, sin

An indictment by a federal grand jury has issued in Knoxville, Tennessee with respect to the alleged hacking of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's Yahoo email account. The defendant, David Kernell, the son of Tennessee Representative Mike Kernell, has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, David Kernell could be sentenced to up to five years in prison, along with a hefty fine and years of supervised release. Trial in the case is currently set for December 16, well after the Presidential election. The question at this point might be whether the indictment stands up as a matter of law.

OCTOBER 8--A Tennessee man has been indicted for hacking into the e-mail account of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin might be the first Vice Presidential candidate to get her online email account hacked, but she's not the first person to have this problem and certainly isn't the first to get hacked using information readily available on Google and Wikipedia. Palin's experience goes to show you how relatively easy it is for someone to brute force and social reverse engineer the information needed to crack a password or security question. In this case, the purported hacker actually told us how he/she (it was an individual, btw) did it using Google and Wikipedia. Here's an excerpt from the hacker's own words, thanks to a blog post by Michelle Malkin.
