Did you hear that it is a Federal and State violation to hack into a private email???? Only 2 years but thats alot of meals on a tin plate!!!!!!
Um, have you been watching the news lately? Granted the major outlets don't seem to be giving it much airtime, but just Google Palin email hack. I'm disturbed by the fact they got Bristol's number and called it AND published email addresses on the site.
Here's a link I found... Yahoo search... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/17/palins-email-account-hack_n_127184.html
Its ok, because my husband works in telecom and from home, he keeps the news channels on all day so he can stay on top of any possible service-affecting catastrophes. Sort of his own mini-Network Operations Center. :happy:
I am disgusted that people would do something like that. Who cares if she uses the same e-mail addy for personal and professional e-mails. As long as she can do her job and do it well, and not break any major laws who the F cares.
Personal emil ok, but PROFESSIONAL white house email? Granted we have not heard if anything professional was written in the emails. There we go. Lets save some money in the white house.....That might save us .00002 cents in taxes. Just have them do all their correspondance thru a free Yahoo emaill account....so secure....gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. They should have a google account then they could send secure attachments up to 2gb.
No I agree with you any hacking of any email, or really anything considered private and/or personnel, of the Internet or your own personal pc is wrong. You sort of don't see my intended meaning. I meant personal email ok for yahoo.... but not mixed with professional email. Hacking any email is the same as stealing from the mailbox in front of your house. This has been against the law for a long time. And it is a federal offense also. But how we use INTERNET email accounts should be considered. They were not meant to handle some types of what should be secure email. When I say secure I mean any big business confidential mail (especially from high levels of the government) . In a lot of ways this should not even go across the internet (unless sent between secure mail servers), that is why there is still certified snail mail.
seems like whomever made the hack didn't do a good job of cleaning up after themselves.. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/09/18/palin-email-account-hackers-carelessness/
I agree it is a new low to hack a candidates email account. It is true however that someone could view your email in transit over the Internet. Just like talking on a cellphone, there is no presumption of privacy over these kinds of public networks. C.
Actually "in transit" is pretty secure. It's not like in the movies where you clip a couple of leads on this big cable labeled "Internet". The servers is where the vulnerability is. If you use encryption it makes it secure in the hops on the way there too. Then all you have to worry about is security on the end points.
That is what I meant when I said SECURE mail servers. The "end points" is where most of the problems lie today, especially a home pc directly connected to the Internet.
