The obsession with VP candidate Sarah Palin has gone a bit too far with hackers tapping into her Yahoo! account. Maybe the hacker was hoping to find hot Sarah Palin photos a la the recent Miley Cyrus drama?
Sarah Palin used the Yahoo! account “gov.palin” for official business as Alaska’s governor. This raises questions and debate about the use of non-government e-mail accounts to conduct state and government business.
Naturally, the McCain campaign management is furious about this, saying in a statement, “This is a shocking invasion of the governor’s privacy and a violation of law. The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them.”
So far nothing shocking or controversial has leaked of the hack, but one can only hope.
