The Wired blog Threat Level is reporting that a student from the University of Tennessee may have claimed to have hacked Sarah Palin’s email account by resetting her password using publicly available information to answer the security questions.
The student allegedly posted a first person account of his exploits on a message board. Threat Level declined to publish the individual’s real name because the link between the guy and the post is still "tenuous" and the authorities haven’t named any suspects.
Update 2:09pm: Fox is reporting that the FBI served a warrant on the home of David Parnell a UT student and the son of a Democratic state representative.

Will this be another DOJ “decline to prosecute” or do you have to be a white, skinhead, meth tweaker with guns threatening a Democrat to get off so easily?
Different justice for Dems v.s. Dem haters.
Utah has a hacker in its midst?!?! Well, knock me over with a feather, preferably from an endangered species.
Set the guns out, paw. There’s no telling where they’ll pop up next.
Y’know what would be just plain fun? Whut if the hacker is a tinafey look-alike?! hmmm.
The state representative should hold a news conference and say “Well, if anyone knows how difficult it is to get your children to behave, it’s Sarah Palin. So I know she’ll understand.”
