Liberals do not need the Patriot Act or a FISA bill they are just fine with law breaking hackers.

Explanation from the guy from /b/ who did it:

Quote:

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 bull**** 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 screen****s 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 **** ever got to the FBI I was ****ed, I panicked, i still wanted the stuff out there but I didn?t know how to rapid**** 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 ****er 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

lol

There have been suggestions here that we should all be in a tither over the evil hackers. I fail to see why. They, after all, are not running for Vice President.

Sure, what they did was illegal. If they can be caught, by all means punish them with my full support. But, I'm not overly concerned about them.

I am concerned about Palin however. She is scary.

Come on Lincoln, you're grasping for straws. We admitted she was victimized.

I looked for awhile and only found the story on Michelle Malkin's site:

It's from /b/, so you can't exactly link to it or have any idea whatsoever who published it. It seems plausible, and fits pretty perfectly with the pics and things that have been leaked so far.

The lead in reads:

A tech-savvy reader who monitors the hackers’ site e-mailed me a detailed explanation of how it went down, who was responsible, and how someone with a conscience warned a friend of the Palin family of the crime (language warning):

So in order to evade investigation from the state legislature Palin was recommended by her legal consultant to use yahoo or some other email service that was not through the government's server so that they would not be "subpoenaed".

Quote:

Andrée McLeod, who filed the FOIA request, said yesterday evening that Palin should have known better than to conduct state business using an unsecured e-mail account. "If this woman is so careless as to conduct state business on a private e-mail account that has been hacked into, what in the world is she going to do when she has access to information that is vital to our national security interests?" she asked.
McLeod's Anchorage attorney, Donald C. Mitchell, said Palin declined to comply with a public records request in June to divulge 1,100 e-mails sent to and from her personal accounts, citing executive privilege.

Now because of the idiotic decision by her to attempt to hide from the law her account is hacked and instead of the emails being reviewed by investigators for whatever investigation there may be, they're completely exposed all over the internet for everyone to see - I can't help but feel a sense of poetic justice with that.

So is this how she would conduct business out of the VP office from the white house? Seemingly not only is she completely un-knowledgeable, she's utterly idiotic - probably one of those people that see an email with the sexual enhancement drugs or free million dollars where all you need to do is click here and get her entire computer system invaded by viruses and worms then wonder several days later why she can't use her computer.

Well, on that McCain is far better than her, he would at least leave the system alone to someone that does know how to use a comp. Unfortunately it seems that in this case he trusts the dumbass neocon wannabe that thinks she knows everything with the system.

Yeah you all know the type I'm talking about, the kind that diddles around with the system with a desktop completely covered in pointless shortcut icons that come pre-installed with the system has no idea about spyware/adware or the lot.

I'm going to need more than this for it to even pass the smell test.
