Looking at /b/, there was one random /b/tard who used public data and guesswork to answer the ’secret questions’ and change the password to Palin’s account, and who then panicked and posted the details up on /b/.

No ‘left-wing’ operatives involved whatso-frigging-ever.

HackedPalin photos

The hackers supposedly sent the more complete files around to government investigators and several media sources, but didn’t post them all.

The screenshots were sort of a “shot across the bow” it seems. Enough to scare the bejeezus out of the McCain-Palin camp – as they don’t know how much the hackers got. Thus the hackers can play “cat-and-mouse”, slowly twiusting Palin in the wind with each new revelation.

Just how long will McCain hold onto Palin as these revelations are slowly leaked?
