Hackers say they've broken into Sarah Palin's personal e-mail account. according to the blog, ARTVoice. Allegedly, someone with a group called "anonymous" posted the password to Palin's Yahoo account (gov.palin@yahoo.com) on a bulletin board last night, "and a field day ensued," the blog said.
Another member of the group said he changed the password to "avoid further damage."
None of the e-mail was said to be very titillating. The Associated Press reported that the Secret Service asked it to turn over copies of the e-mail it had in its possession. The AP declined, the story said.
Last week, the New York Times reported Gov. Palin uses her personal e-mail account to conduct state business in Alaska to circumvent attempts to subpoenas for public records.
