| Wired: Palin e-mail hacker is the son of a Democratic state representative in Tennessee |
| 2008-09-18 |
| . . . Bloggers have connected the handle of the poster, "Rubico," to an e-mail address, and tentatively identified the owner as a college student in Tennessee. Threat Level was unable to reach the student by phone because his number is unlisted. A person who identified himself as the student's father, when reached at home, said he could not talk about the matter and would have no comment. The father is a Democratic state representative in Tennessee. Threat Level is not identifying them by name because authorities have not identified any suspects in the case, and the link to the student so far is tenuous. . . . (Boldface emphasis added.) Verrry intereeesting, as they say. Also interesting is this quote from "Rubico" (boldface emphasis added): The hacker said that he read all of the e-mails in the Palin account and found "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 governorÂ…. And pictures of her family." Whether this is just a Kos Kiddie off on his own hook, or someone put him up to it, remains to be seen. |
