Was browsing the internet today, stopped by /b/ and noticed no small amount of bullshit on Sarah Palin popping up in several of the threads, found out about this:
Michelle Malkin » The story behind the Palin e-mail hacking
Apparently, someone hacked Sarah Palin's yahoo e-mail account and posted the account name and password on 4chan. According to this blog story (sorry, no truly reputable sources on it yet, although it was on fox news earlier), someone on 4chan logged into the e-mail account and changed the password and sent an e-mail to a friend of Palin in order to warn her the e-mail address was compromised. Unfortunately, the poster also took a screencap of this and posted it in /b/, but failed to blank the password out, and the swarm of login attempts that followed led Yahoo to freeze the account... But the information from the account was archived and supposedly is loose on the web. Something was posted to wikileaks but the site is down now...
All I've got to say is, if true, wow. Good show 4chan. O'Reilly is gonna love this one.
