Palin Email Intruder’s Father – Democratic Rep in Tennessee

According to an article at Wired.com –

“Threat Level was unable to reach the student by phone because his number is unlisted. A person who identified himself as the student’s father, when reached at home, said he could not talk about the matter and would have no comment. The father is a Democratic state representative in Tennessee. Threat Level is not identifying them by name because authorities have not identified any suspects in the case, and the link to the student so far is tenuous.”

This is unacceptable. I sincerely hope that the investigation of this issue is being handled seriously, and intensely. Out of all the people out there with the knowledge and skill (not that much needed, but still) to accomplish this breach, the person who does it just happens to be the child of a Democratic Party politician?

On another note, I sincerely urge all who read this blog to take seriously their online security. Yahoo mail has been demonstrated to be insecure, other online email services can be exploited as well. Regularly change your passwords. Regularly inspect your email for anything out of the ordinary.
