Today, it was discovered that Sarah Palin's Yahoo account was hacked. Various emails were discovered including government business.
There has been speculation in the media that she was using Yahoo to conduct business so that she could avoid being under government freedom of information requests.

So my basic question is this: regardless of whether you want to vote for this woman because of her stance on abortion, moose hunting habits, etc. why would you EVER vote for some so security illiterate that she would use a yahoo mail account with a weak password for government business? This is privacy 101 here - do we really want to trust this woman with the keys to nuclear codes, mission briefings, etc.?
Someone should tell her it's probably not a good idea to store CIA documents on USB keys or leave unshredded documents in her garbage can while they're educating her on basic privacy management.
