'The Palin Hack Didn't Require Any Real Skill'

Secret Service take note! The Wired blog Threat Level has picked up on a posting by a person claiming to be “anonymous” detailing how they hacked into Sarah Palin’s email account. Hint: It apparently wasn’t that hard.

But wait! It gets better. Bloggers at the chat room where the the post appeared have apparently traced the poster to an email address belonging to a college student in Tennessee. Threat Level says they reached the student’s father by phone…the student’s father is a Democratic state representative in Tennessee.
