Palin E-mail Hacker Found

Jus­tice at last; actu­ally, it didn’t take long.  Accord­ing to TG Daily, the FBI was able to use proxy server logs to track down the hacker.  Get this — the hacker is a Ten­nessee uni­ver­sity col­lege stu­dent and the son of Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Mike Ker­nell (D-TN).  Big sur­prise, huh?

A few days ago, some­one going by the name of “Rubico” gloated on
4chan.org that he man­aged to hack into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo account.  He
forced a pass­word reset by answer­ing ques­tions about Palin’s birth­date,
zip code and where she met her spouse, Wasilla High School.   Of
course, by being the Repub­li­can can­di­date for Vice Pres­i­dent, this
infor­ma­tion is all very eas­ily found on the Inter­net.  After answer­ing
the ques­tions, Rubico reset the pass­word to “pop­corn” and read through
Palin’s emails.

I just think that it’s hilar­i­ous that the guy felt like he needed to brag about it.  That was his colos­sally stu­pid move.  And now, that brag­ging will lead to this guy’s arrest, con­vic­tion, and impris­on­ment.  Just one ques­tion — Was it worth it, Ker­nell?
