New News On The Governor Palin Hacked Email Account

"Was Tennessee Democrat's son the Palin hacker? A politician’s son is being fingered for the hacking of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s personal Yahoo email account. David Kernell, the son of Democratic state Rep. Mike Kernell of Tennessee, is being questioned by authorities, including the FBI and the Secret Service, which began an official investigation following last week’s hacking. Knoxville’s Tennessean reports that Kernell refused to disclose any information regarding his 20-year-old son, who is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. A message on a web site popular with hackers that purported to be from the hacker talked about how he reset Palin’s password to get access to the account. Personal photos as well as some of Palin’s family members’ email addresses and cell phone numbers ended up circulating on the web on sites including Gawker and Wikileaks. " -Media life web shorts
