Tue, 23 Sep 2008 02:01:58 +0000 http://forthardknox.com/?p=6571#comment-9281 The whole story is just weird. The hack wasn't really a hack at all. It was just social engineering, and that's just a fancy word for being a con man. I asked my boyfriend about the whole Internet trail thing, and he said that there are ways to be completely invisible online (the NSA does it), but that the average scriptkiddie wouldn't be able to pull it off in like a million years. He also said that serious hackers use private, hidden, mobile proxies, or use hijacked servers as proxies only for as long as they need them. Enough geek speak. Just thought this might be interesting to readers who want to understand what happened. I'm more interested in that records request made last June for thousands of Sarah's gubernatorial emails. What's up with that? The whole story is just weird. The hack wasn’t really a hack at all. It was just social engineering, and that’s just a fancy word for being a con man.
