Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin had her Yahoo email hacked into last week and screenshots of her inbox, along with some of her emails, were leaked onto the internet. As for the hackers, they seemed to have had quite an easy time hacking into her email. they knew Palin's birthday, her home zipcode, and guessed the simple "security question" of where she met her husband by putting "in highschool". With those that done, the hackers were able to change her password to "popcorn." So an obvious piece of advice to everyone(who happens to be smarter than the vice-presidential nominee), select a difficult question and put an answer only you would know, even if it doesn't match the question. Or put a fake name and birthday. Obviously, the FBI and the Secret Service are launching an investigation into the intentional hack but the likelyhood of finding them is slim to none. Even comments by the "hacker" have circulated around the Internets , with one of the messages stating, "I am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story." He/she added that what had started as a prank was only cut short because of worries that the FBI would investigate.
