If Sarah Palin Had Used Her Work Email, Would It Have Been Hacked?
Author: admin // Category: videosI’m assuming work emails (especially for a governor) would have higher security and be more protected. Could she have avoided the email hacking situation if she had used her work email?

It’s quite disturbing. She can’t ever secure her email.

I seriously doubt that they would have been hacked.
This was sort of a publicity stunt to show that a) Palin subverts the transparency laws of government and therefore is not a maverick and b) to embarrass the McCain campaign on account of neither person on the ticket having a clue on how they should use computers when it comes to national and international concerns.
Some kid somewhere got wound up about these issues and hacked it. Apparently it’s super easy to hack a yahoo account. (I guess we should all now make sure we don’t attract the attention of hackers ourselves!)

I have no idea. Apparently she did use her official e-mail for many things. She also used a Yahoo account for work-related emails she didn’t want to be subject to disclosure rules. Palin is a fraud and a liar.
Why are the Neocons making such ridiculous claims? Hackers constantly hack into people’s accounts. No one need ask them. Don’t they get that?

It may have still been hacked, provided the hacker is very smart and knows what he or she is doing. But it would have been very unlikely, as government security on that kind of stuff is hard to break through, even if you do know how to do it. I think it’s Palin’s fault for getting her e-mail hacked into, she should have been smarter about it.

Anyone, anywhere that uses personal email to do official business is hiding something. Not just as a security risk, but is purposely circumventing controls and regulation.
Not a Democrat or Republican issue - ANYONE that does this is hiding something.

Probably. This is the worst thing in politics since the Watergate break-in. I hope it leads directly back to it’s source- The Obama campaign!

doesn’t matter. If you leave your front door open does that give someone the right to walk in and steal things? If this is investigated to find out that someone on Obama’s staff or the Democratic Party was involved, this could be Watergate all over again…./

No. That’s what this episode really shows - that she endangered state business by conducting it on a private account, which can be hacked much more easily. And she did it to avoid the public knowing what she was doing.

who knows
but the pictures were funny
like seeing the Obama girls with their Daddy…
and mommy ..so sweet for little communist..

She probably could have. However, this does not justify the hacking. How would you like it if someone hacked into your email and deleted things, took family contact info, etc?

i have just five words to say to this epic affront to justice and personal privacy committed by the most feared group of the internet ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH!

TRUE PATRIOT: So, if she had been raped would you be claiming she couldn’t secure her vagina?
Blame the victim. Shameless.

This question is either…
A) a sad attempt at a smear
or
B) In the wrong section… Try the “Computer” section.

work e-mail duh its for work what would be on it but hey guess. Don’t you think that it would be more protected if your a governor. HELLO!!!!

Not only hers. Many anti-Obama sites are now gone or missing their links. Why? Is someone making genius hackings?
June 10th, 2009 at 11:12 am
She can’t secure her own mail, how can she secure our energy???
June 10th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
probably not. I think her use of this type of mail was half a$$ed to say the least.

you bet ye.
