Your Ad Here Your Ad Here Sarah Palin's emails for you to read...

The cryptic Internet posse known for its attacks on Scientology may have found a new target in Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Several self-proclaimed members of Anonymous, a loosely organized group commonly associated with the message board 4Chan, apparently breached the Alaska Governor's personal Yahoo! account (gov.palin@yahoo.com) late Tuesday night. The hacker posted screenshots of two emails, a Yahoo! inbox, a contact list and several family photos to Wikileaks.org, a site that anonymously hosts leaked government and corporate documents. Another screenshot purportedly shows a draft email from Palin's account to campaign aide Ivy Frye alerting her of the breach: This email was hacked by anonymous, but I took no part in that. I simply got the password back, and changed it so no further damage could be done. Please get in contact with Sarah Palin and inform her the new password on this account is samsonite1. Thank you and best wishes, the good anonymous The screenshots quickly spread across the web to blogs like this The two email exchanges appear to involve state politicians — Alaskan Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell and Amy McCorkell, whom Palin appointed to the Governor's Advisory Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse last year. Wired Magazine reported that McCorkell confirmed the email's authenticity, though she later refused to comment to the Associated Press. Palin's other Yahoo! account (gov.sarah@yahoo.com) has already been hacked, so to speak, by federal authorities who are investigating her role in the firing of Walt Monegan, Alaska's public safety commissioner. Critics charged that Palin fired Monegan for refusing to dismiss her former brother-in-law from his job as a state trooper. (The scandal has already earned a -gate suffix). After the hacks were made public, both private accounts were deleted — an act that could technically constitute destruction of evidence.
