Palin E-mail Hacker Identified

 

The hacker who broke into Sarah Palin's, the Republican Governor of Alaska, e-mail came forward the other day and told how he preformed the hack. He used a simple google search to find information to answer the "Security" question that yahoo askes for a missing password. By looking up where Palin had met her spouse he was able to answer the question and reset the password. The account had nothing interesting and included just pictures of her family and no information that would help derail her campaign.
