Do you Yahoo?
October 27, 2008 If you use Yahoo for your email, be sure to use a fairly mysterious password. A teenager in America found it quite easy to work out what Sarh Palin' s password was (yes, that Sarah Palin).
The son of Tennessee Representative Mike Kernell, David Kernell was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Knoxville for intentionally accessing Palin's Yahoo email account without authorisation. According to the three-page indictment, David Kernell gained access to gov.palin@yahoo.comon September 16 by exploiting weaknesses in Yahoo's password reset feature.
