If they ever find out who hacked into Gov. Palin's private e-mail, what do you think their punishment should be? Do you think this damages Yahoo's image and that people will not think their Yahoo account is safe anymore?

I don't think this will hurt Yahoo's image. Anyone who believes that any website is completely hackproof is underestimating those who spend their days and nights working on ways to infiltrate security systems. My bank has a double layer of security for it's online banking but, really, nothing is hackproof. As far as what should be done to the hacker(s)? It's a crime and should be dealt with on the same level as it would be with anyone else. This was not a secured, government system so it's not a high level, national security type crime.

Crime is crime, so if someone has hacked into Palin's email, then they need to be pursued and caught and punished just like everyone else.

True though, I hope she wasn't using a system like Yahoo to send government type e-mails. I thought that was a little weird that her e-mail was at Yahoo. Doesn't the government have some system for employees like at something.gov that's secure? So was this just her own personal e-mail? Not work related? maybe she wanted the e-mail to be "off the record." ooooh. Yeah, a crime's a crime and doesn't really matter upon who it was perpetrated. Hopefully they can catch these guys and make an example out of them. I'm sick of the few ruining it for the many.

This is just another insane Hussin Obama dirty, low life, tactics to over run the Republican party's momentum for the race to the White House. I hope they find Obama's Cronies and hang them By their balls. The liberals are running around light a bunch of chickens with out a head. They are actually affraid of what Sara Palin can do to blow away any chance of Hussin Obama being elected for president. This is a serious Act of personnal invasion of our privacy. Obama is desperate, he is spreading lies and promises that he will never keep or do. Expect to pay higher taxes, open boarders, More welfare to the illegals. Don't extpect health care to get any better than what your getting now, unless your willing to have more taxes taking out of you pay check each week. He is against off shore drilling, all together. Even if he says so. It's all lies. He moved from the far left to the center, but if he were to be elected, He will diffidently return to extremism. It's really ashame that these liberals would stoop to anything to get the job done. What goes-around comes-around.
