Sarah Palin E-Mail Hacker Found Guilty of Coverup

The 22 year old former University of Tennessee student was convicted on the lesser charges of obstruction of justice and computer intrusion, but dodged more serious felony charges.



Kernell famously hacked into Palin's Yahoo webmail account while Palin was the Republican vice presidential candidate. He used publicly available information about Palin to reset her password to "popcorn," then posted screenshots of some of her e-mail, and the new password, to the /b/ message board on 4chan so others could enjoy it.
