The FBI has searched a college apartment of David Kernell, the man suspected of hacking into Republican vice-president Sarah Palin’s e-mail account. It appears he, like Palin, has been caught out by some fairly simple detective work.
Kernell is the son of a Democrat state representative. Mike Kernell has confirmed his son is the person talked about online, but denies any involvement himself, telling the Associated Press “I had nothing to do with it, I had no knowledge or anything. I was not a party to anything of this nature at all. I wasn’t in on this — and I wouldn’t know how to do anything like that.” It's nice to see a father standing up for a son!
David Kernell was first tagged as the man claiming responsibility after message board posters noted the user name ‘Rubico’ matched up with rubico10@yahoo.com, an address Kernell had used on YouTube. (There’s a certain irony given that Palin’s hacked account was also provided by Yahoo.)
