Palin e-mail hack not hack at all

As you may know, someone recently hacked vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s yahoo e-mail account. If not, read about it here.
Apparently, it wasn’t that difficult to hack after all. All the anonymous hacker did was reset her password and guess the security question. The question: where did she meet her husband. And thanks to the power of Google, the answer wasn’t difficult to find. Wasilla High School is the answer, if you’re curious.
Additionally, it might be possible to track the hacker down because he/she forgot to blur out the address bar on Firefox. All Yahoo would need to do is check their logs and see where the address came from.
Looks like we had bit of a newbie hacker on our hands.
