I used the word confess when I should have said something more to the effect that the perpetrator explained how he was able to hack Palin’s email.

– Understood, but do we even know that this explanation actually came from the real hacker?

Alaska has a proactive law on the books in terms of the felony of breaking into an email account. Yahoo needs to improve its practices – it is right now a failing company.

Obama has not come out and censored this type of felony activity. Obama is such a pathetic person when it comes to treating women and executives fairly.

He has promised to look the other way if people in his campaign do the duty work for him.

While the parents may beg for mercy for their son, their son needs to pay a BIG TIME PENALTY for his felony and his invasion of privacy and endangerment of children.

The Democrats – if they were reasonable people – should vigorously denounce this type of invastion of privacty.

Intstead they think terrorists rights are more important than citizen’s rights and children’s rights.

The Democrats were so stupid they actually said they had the right to break in to be sure no inappropriate political business was taking place in the email account. This is BIG BROTHER at his worst and an invasion of privacy.

Its time for all Americans to be afraid of Obama not denouncing this act.

Nice, #77. I remember those days of being on-call for little ones.

Wired has an interesting look at the possible charges facing the hackers.

Icy Truth,
Please forgive me for the way I worded my comment earlier. I used the word confess when I should have said something more to the effect that the perpetrator explained how he was able to hack Palin’s email. I was attempting to make a quick link people could go to, while a 2 year old was pulling on my shirt and calling for me, and messed up. Sorry.

I will say, though, that I am not a liar. Not by any means. Thank you for the benefit of the doubt.

No one needs privilege to refuse a request. One needs privilege to refuse a request made under color of law (a subpoena, a duly authorized & official request pursuant to this or that statute, etc)

Isn’t that what happened here? It sounded like a law enforcement agency requested copies of the emails from the AP. I assume that request would have been legally made pursuant to a federal or state statute.

– Investigators were waiting to speak with Gabriel Ramuglia who operates an internet anonymity service used by the hacker. –
.
I didn’t see a confession by any named person.
.
At any rate, in addition to trying to backtrace the anonymizing service used to access Yahoo and induce it to send a “this is your password” e-mail, one can also look to the owner of the e-mail account that Yahoo sent the “this is your new password” message to.

I was wondering about those E-mails of Palins that McCain posted for the all the public to see. Could this also have been a way to hack someones e-mail if you didn’t properly erase any sensitive information on them. Surely the man who invented the blackberry wouldn’t miss that. Or did he have Al Gore the inventor of the internet help him!

“…This country is based on freedom, yet there is nothing to be said about RESPECT.”

Though I don’t disagree, respect is about manners (which is a subject for another time);
What has been truly missing is RESPONSIBILITY!
