Palin's Yahoo email password and posted the contents online.

New York - Allegedly some hackers came across Sarah Palin’s Yahoo email password and posted the contents online.

The internet hacker known as Anonymous took credit for the intrusion.

The screenshots and some of the emails, family photos, and address book were published on the Wikileaks site and Gawker.

There was no real dirt on the governor or any scandalous bikini pictures.

Beyond the voyeuristic issues, there are apparently questions about her use of personal e-mail for conducting state business as Alaska governor.

“This is a shocking invasion of the governor’s privacy and a violation of law. The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them,” the McCain campaign said in a statement.

The e-mail account of Palin has since been shut down.  Many of the images are still online though, as well as the contact list.
