As most of you know by now Governor Sarah Palin’s private email account was hacked into and the contents spread across the internet. The account has now been deleted, and federal authorities have begun an investigation.
Michelle Malkin has posted on her site an email she received from one of her readers who monitors a message board popular among hackers. The unnamed reader detailed for Malkin exactly what occurred and provided her with the thread posted by an individual claiming to be responsible for the breech of privacy.
The original poster used the name “rubico.” The linked email address for the poster was rubico10@yahoo.com.
Rubico stated he searched Palin’s site purposely looking for incriminating evidence in hopes of destroying her campaign but found none.
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
Rubico goes on to explain that when he realized the magnitude of what he had done by hacking Palin’s email he panicked. Even though there was no information to be found, he wanted what he had put out there so he posted the user ID and password on the message board so others could access it. Someone with a conscience discovered what happened, entered Palin’s account, changed the password and sent a notice to one of Palin’s friends so she could warn Palin and everyone else.
**Warning - Bad Language**
White Knight is the individual that changed the password and sent notice to Palin through her friend.
Rapidshit refers to rapidshare - rubico wanted to download the emails, put them into one file, and put that file up on rapidshare for the world at large to download
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.
My guess in that rubico is not sleeping well tonight. He knows they are coming for him. Can’t you just picture him sitting in his mother’s basement breaking a cold sweat, jumping at every little sound?
