Internet are serious business

[Arkaron]

Apparently (although part of me thinks this is an extraordinarily elaborate hoax) Palin's Yahoo! account was hacked.

On a related note, I discovered /b/ today whilst learning about Anonymous, and I credit the sheltering guidance of Brell's old necromancer channel for preventing this discovery for years. I am not sure how much of that I can unsee, although a great deal of it is funny.

/tg/ is much better than /b/.

I tried to get to wikileaks last night. It was slashdoted in to the dirt.

There's nothing there to speak of. Whoever hacked it boasted before they'd downloaded too many things, so the account got shut down.

Of course, it raises the question of why the Governer of Alaska is using her personal email for business purposes, which is expressly against the law (much like the White House was doing).

Exactly.

It will be amusing how many people get introduced to the world of /b/tards & 4chan via this though.

[Garrdor]

Not a hoax.

If so - very elaborate. TYVM /b/

This is really an excercise in how to go from college student to convicted felon in 4 easy steps

1. Figure out a public figures Yahoo account name

2. Garner her info from Wiki in order to reset her password

3. Brag about your l33t haxx on /b/

4. Get pissed cuz they dont believe you and post SS of the haxx forgetting to remove the info in the URL that can be tracked back to you.

The forum posting, incidentally, has been connected to an e-mail address belonging to a college student from Tennessee. Some reports speculate that student may be the son of a Democratic state representative also from Tennessee, though that information has not been confirmed. The FBI and Secret Service are actively investigating.

Hello, /b/ as many of you might already know, last night sarah palin’s yahoo was “hacked” and caps were posted on /b/, i am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story.

In the past couple days news had come to light about palin using a yahoo mail account, it was in news stories and such, a thread was started full of newfags trying to do something that would not get this off the ground, for the next 2 hours the acct was locked from password recovery presumably from all this bullshit spamming.

after the password recovery was reenabled, it took seriously 45 mins on wikipedia and google to find the info, Birthday? 15 seconds on wikipedia, zip code? well she had always been from wasilla, and it only has 2 zip codes (thanks online postal service!)

the second was somewhat harder, the question was “where did you meet your spouse?” did some research, and apparently she had eloped with mister palin after college, if youll look on some of the screenshits that I took and other fellow anon have so graciously put on photobucket you will see the google search for “palin eloped” or some such in one of the tabs.

I found out later though more research that they met at high school, so I did variations of that, high, high school, eventually hit on “Wasilla high” I promptly changed the password to popcorn and took a cold shower…

this is all verifiable if some anal /b/tard wants to think Im a troll, and there isn’t any hard proof to the contrary, but anyone who had followed the thread from the beginning to the 404 will know I probably am not, the picture I posted this topic with is the same one as the original thread.

I read though the emails… ALL OF THEM… before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor…. And pictures of her family

I then started a topic on /b/, peeps asked for pics or gtfo and I obliged, then it started to get big

Earlier it was just some prank to me, I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be, just like all of you anon out there that you think there was some missed opportunity of glory, well there WAS NOTHING, I read everything, every little blackberry confirmation… all the pictures, and there was nothing, and it finally set in, THIS internet was serious business, yes I was behind a proxy, only one, if this shit ever got to the FBI I was fucked, I panicked, i still wanted the stuff out there but I didn’t know how to rapidshit all that stuff, so I posted the pass on /b/, and then promptly deleted everything, and unplugged my internet and just sat there in a comatose state

Then the white knight fucker came along, and did it in for everyone, I trusted /b/ with that email password, I had gotten done what I could do well, then passed the torch , all to be let down by the douchebaggery, good job /b/, this is why we cant have nice things.

[Ddrak]

Right, because someone posting as "rubico" on 4chan with a post that will bring down the party van is really gonna use their own tag and not that of some namefag they don't like. Come on, Jecks. You know how /b/ works and you should be a lot more suspicious of someone claiming credit with a *name* attached.

Not only that, but all the information posted in the "explanation" post is derived from the original screenshots, including the google searches in tabs. There's nothing really identifiable there save the ctunnel link, which is more than likely going to end up at an IP address on TOR.

Does anyone else feel bad for the kid? People do this stuff all the time, often far more maliciously, and never get in legal trouble. It bugs me that crime A and crime B could be equal, but because of the target of crime A, the consequences are much more dire.

[Lurker]

Why did you do it, Ddrak?

I love this part the most

No, Tax, I don't feel bad at all. I don't like Palin, but I hope the kid gets fucked and I love Decent Person X aka Mr. White Knight for this.

[Ddrak]

Why did you do it, Ddrak?

For the lulz. Is there another reason on /b/?
