Our Observer, an internet security expert, explains why you should be wary of webmail. </p> <p> The mails that were published online didn't reveal anything particularly sensitive, but the politician has been strongly criticised for having used her personal email for professional subjects, risking the disclosure of state secrets. As a governor, she has a secure &quot;.gov&quot; email address which she can check at any time, for example using a Blackberry. But she preferred to secure her messages her own way, not wanting them to remain on the government servers, according to The New York Times. </p> <p> On Sunday, the FBI arrested a suspect. And the hacker, student David Kernell, just so happens to be the son of a Democratic deputy in Tennessee. Agents found him bragging, under a penname, on a discussion forum. Not such an IT genius then - how did he manage to hack Sarah Palin's Yahoo account? </p> http://observers.france24.com/en/content/20080923-internet-security-sarah-palin-yahoo-hacked-webmail-danger#comments hackers IT Republican Sarah Palin United States 38.839708 -77.102051 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 10:01:02 +0200 Sophie Team Observers 47002 at http://observers.france24.com
