I've read that the hacker is the son of a democratic congressman from Tennessee.

So wait, someone accesses the email of one of the most popular people in the USA (Based on amount of news coverages) and rather than saving all her emails / making them public, they just give the password out on 4chan?

epic fail.

You may be right!

I sit here wondering, "Why am I being mocked?" I look into it, and apparently they are the same entity. I always assumed they were distinct. Obviously not everyone at /b/ belongs to the the hacker sub-group, but anyway...my bad. I'm happy to amuse you.

If you're the least bit famous/in the public eye, it's going to be real easy for someone to get into your shit with secret question answers. That said, since when is doing so "hacking"?

They are not a fucking "entity." I can't comprehend why everything has to be simplified that much. 4chan is a website with a forum, just like FoH. The only difference is that instead of discussing MMOs, their focus is on finding pictures of underage girls on Myspace and shopping pedobear on them, while furiously masturbating to homoerotic pictures of Tyler Durden.

If the guy who allegedly hacked into Palin's e-mail posted the password or the pictures on FoH, I can't see how the whole forum community could be held as responsible in any way.

Or I'm wrong and Anonymous is just refining its plan for world domination while stroking a white cat on its collective knees.

That said, I believe 4chan to be one of the best thing to have come out of the Internet.

I think the confusion stems from thinking Anonymous are a "group" as the word usually implies.

They are as much a group as people reading Wall Street Journal are a "group".

I would have done the same thing. 4chan is practically the heart of the internet.

Guy that got the password is a pussy though.

Are you saying WSJ maliciously hacked Sarah Palin? The plot thickens!

In response to Bill O'Reilly's comments, some people hacked into his site. They claimed security was non-existant and took a screenshot of the premium subscribers. You'd think they would keep those encrypted, but nope.
