Sarah Palin Claims Site Hacked, Credit Card Details Stolen, But Doubts Surface This Is Merely Attempt At Attention Whoring
Operation Payback has supposedly taken its latest victim: Sarah Palin, who previously called for the execution of Assange, has had her site hacked, and her credit card details taken. Her take: "No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange's antics,” Palin
emailed. “This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and
speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts." Frankly, we very much doubt anyone, let alone a sophisticated hacker network, would bother with someone of Palin's "intellectual" capacity and significance, and would actively demand that she produce her serverlog (assuming she knows what this is) to confirm the fact, as many have already voice a suspicion this is just the latest attempt of the vice presidential candidate pathetically whoring for yet more media attention.
From ABC:
The website and personal credit card information of former Gov. Sarah Palin were cyber-attacked today by Wikileaks supporters, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate tells ABC News in an email.
Hackers in London apparently affiliated with “Operation Payback” – a group of supporters of Julian Assange and Wikileaks – have tried to shut down SarahPac and have disrupted Sarah and Todd Palin’s personal credit card accounts.
“No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange's antics,” Palin emailed. “This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”
Palin has criticized Wikileaks founder Assange, writing on Facebook that his “past posting of classified documents revealed the identity of more than 100 Afghan sources to the Taliban. Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders?...Assange is not a 'journalist' any more than the 'editor' of al-Qaeda's new English-language magazine Inspire is a 'journalist.’ He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands."
Added SarahPAC aide Rebecca Mansour, “the governor voiced her opinion knowing full well that she was speaking out against a shady disreputable organization with no regard for laws or human life. This is how they operate. The world should not be intimidated by them."
SarahPAC.com technical aides say that on their server log this morning it showed the attacks coming from a browser identified as wikileaks.org, though it has since spread to others entitled "anonymous." Mansour added that Wikileaks supporters claim to be “in favor of free
speech yet they attack Sarah Palin for exercising her free speech.” She
said SarahPAC.com was not harmed because Palin’s staff was able to move
quickly to protect the site.
The attacks were coming from wikileaks.org??? Are these people seriously that bloody stupid?

Well said.
Evil does not arise only from evil people, but also from good people who
tolerate the initiation of force as a means to their own ends. In this manner, good people have empowered evil throughout History.
Using governmental force to impose a vision on others is intellectual sloth and typically results in unintended, perverse consequences.
Achieving a Free Society requires courage to think, to talk, and to act -- especially when it's easier to do nothing.
Refute those "conservative" notions, I dares ya!
What I really mean to say is: when I vote for a president, I look for their ability to cloak their true intentions by emotionally vapid, meaningless, and indefinable language like "hope" and "change".
Definitely stage one of many leading to anarchy in our beloved fascist union. Bout time someone got pissed off enough to do something about this oppressive regime (not condoning stealing but disruption is cool by me). I don't think they have a clue what's gonna hit 'em when we all get off our asses and show up at the door. Of course the internet and all mass communication will be shut down via dictatorial decree so mass protests will be impossible to organize.
I junked you because of this nonsense.
Shutting down the net and mass communication would cause a little problem with commerce don't you think??
Pretty sure all the banks want us to keep spending.. Not going to happen..

"Sarah" --> "whoring" --> equivalence.
Sarah --> conservatives --> equivalence
If she only had a brain.
RNR-->troll--->stupid liberal
What I really mean to say is: Sarah --> conservatives --> I really want you to believe she represents all conservatives, much like conservatives want you to believe Rosie O'Donell or Nancy Pelosi represents all liberals.
fuck you sarah palin
I would fuck her relentlessly...and post the video on wikileaks.
I take it that you then Didn't vote for the Maverick and the MILF??
Could call it "Nailin Palin".
Didn't Larry Flint already do that?
I bet she stinks badly. She carry at least 3" of makeup.
I bet she stinks badly. She carry at least 3" of makeup.
Umm, why would her credit card number be on her website in the first place?
You could read every bit on my website's hard drive and find no credit card numbers at all.
Apparently her web magicians are much better than Visa and Mastercard. Somehow I doubt that.
+1 - Proof her story is bullshit if you ask me.
Oh no.....you must understand that Sarah has crack team of software and computer engineers, programmers and ex-hackers gone Republican mainstream on her staff of experts. These fucking guys rock....every one of them have a stack of high-level degrees and practical certifications and they all worship the ground Sarah hunts on. Sarah's computer network is ring-fenced by not only experts in every field of modern technology, but software and hardware that the NSA would hock the state of Maryland to get their hands on. This woman is not puffery.
Who said it was on her web site? More disinformation.
Pretty sure if someone said the things she said they would have been charged with terroristic threats. Wingnut!
Oh yes. Sarah Palin is an idiot, along with George W. Bush, Dan Quayle, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, and Dwight Eisenhower.
Barak Obama, Joe Biden, The Clintons, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Jimmy Carter are all Geniuses.
Yeah for my team! /Sarc
So... no one is allowed to comment on Palin's stupidity, without mentioning equal stupidity on the 'left'?
Why?
Because you never mention it, that's why.
Are we at kindergarten level yet?
Go ahead and follow right along with whatever the MSM tells you. Red team--stupid hicks. Blue team--brilliant nobel prize winners. If we don't get past the lie, soon, we are done with freedom.
There are plenty of clever republicans. With that said, it amazes and frightens me that a person like Palin gets so much attention and support from the red team.
I suspect you know very little about Palin.
Biden's a moron too. There do you feel better now?
If you get a nibble on that Left-Right hook and line you guys are casting, The only fish you are going to catch are SUCKERS.
You're missing the point. They are ALL idiots. And they all work for the same bosses. It's just bad cop / good cop.
Oh, come now. There are only two "idiots" among those listed. On the other hand, there's only one really super guy.
Amazing this country is standing when you look at what passes for leadership.
I count 7, but who's counting.
That is exactly my point.
Since Palin can't figure out evolution, i am going to guess she has no clue what a serverlog is. Perhaps, she can take time out from from shooting animals and on a future eposide of her reality tv show "America's Next President", she can learn about serverlogs.
Palin/Lieberman 2012.
Booyah
"Palin/Lieberman 2012"
What an appalling prospect.
Could be worse. Try Obama/Pelosi.
Liz, can you figure out evolution? I mean really, seriously, where are the .995% people, the 1/2 people, the monkeys who are at say 1.10 of monkeyness.
Just wondering, since I can't figure out hide-nor-hare about the whole thing. Lotta reason I didn't even think about biology after being exposed.
What's your guess?
- Ned
Another made up charge against Palin. And I trust she will continue to prosper even without knowledge of serverlogs. Somehow.
does nigeria have access to interpol? hard to believe this slipped under the radar today:

Saw it, Cheney is too protected and will be untouchable. Disgusting but all the corporations are involved in bribery, its a way of doing business especially overseas.
So, what's wrong with whoring.
Lots of people have made a very good living at it.
Look at me, read my comments, I need attention, and I don't mind whoring for it.
Sure but you're PureEvil, we expect that from you. Um ... you weren't planning on running for office I hope?
Could he be called pure evil if he didn't have plans to be an elected official?
Perfect.
In all importance, it is not how this issue plays to ZH readers, but to Joe and Jane 6=Pack, the masses. And to those folks this is an outrage. Our representative calling for the head of a foreign citizen is "righteous," while any "tweak" reponse is dastardly.

Sarah Palin --> America's Margaret Thatcher
Get used to it.
So bad and wrong a comparison on so many, many levels. Thatcher would barf if she got wind . . .
Indeed. Wishful thinking.
I lived under thatchers rule. I hate the fucking bitch but she was 100 times the person that sarah palin is. Empty headed, attention seeking, popularist with an axe to grind against anyone and everything. A real bunny boiler that one.
"You, sir, are no John Kennedy". Nothing new under the sun.
"Sarah Palin --> America's Margaret Thatcher"
Thatcher was an intelligent woman - somebody I would like to have a conversation with - my only interest in Palin is bending her over a desk and hiking up that skirt - the inane shit that comes out of Palin's mouth would drive me nuts
Wow. You must be an imbecile. Did you vote for GWB twice?
"This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment"
The irony is choking me.
Her computer password is password.
I see four people have yet to read Lullaby. For shame...
This chick suffers from Munchausen syndrome.
A government official bearing false witness. Sounds lke EVERY OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFIICIAL on the planet.
the irony of ZH touting attention whoring. really?
+1B ;-)
1) what the actual fuck was she doing storing credit card information on a web server? No wait, that is so ridiculous I might die of an overdose.
2) How can you tell who hacks a website? Even if they say "I am jeezuz and I hacks u" are you going to believe Christ Jesus hacked your web site? Seriously?
3) What makes them "wikileaks supporters"? They got a laminated card they carry around? A tattoo maybe? Did they send introductions on letterhead?
Bunch of fertilizer. I wish the Onion had written that, they would have made it more funny.
"I am jeezuz and I hacks u"
Just found my new username!
btw, what's up with all the random junking?
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
It should be remembered that you can threaten the enemy and get away with it. You can insult and annoy him, but the one thing that is unforgivable and that is certain to get him to react is to laugh at him. This causes irrational anger.
Something like this?

Now, if I just build a wooden badger....
I can't decide. Is it femophobia, misogyny or just plain ol' frenzied juvenile keyboard thrashing, that makes what passes in the daylight for a bunch of grown men, degrade themselves and a woman they don't even know in such dispicable terms? There can be no other rational explanations.
And a special hurrah to Tyler Durden. Mr. ZH himself, for leading the pack.
Feel free to disagree.
I don't think Palin is stupid because she's a woman, I think she is stupid because whenever she opens her mouth, stupid things come out.

That is great advice! Too late for you, though.
As I said. Kindergarten.
Again, it would be unethical to engage in a battle of wits with you, as you are clearly unarmed. See how it works?
Please, do continue. This is amusing.
God bless you. Gonna go decorate the tree with the little ones. Enjoy your night.
Why would you use your little ones as tree decorations?
"I don't think Palin is stupid because she's a woman, I think she is stupid because whenever she opens her mouth, stupid things come out."

Bristol and the new stupid boyfriend probably stole the credit cards to order ecstasy, flavored ass lube and...
Hopefully condoms this time...
Right on.
Where is this nonsense of gender playing any role in Palin's general lack of competence?
I absolutely despise that money grubbing skank from Alaska.
Nailin' Palin likes to dish but she sure can't take it. WAHWAHWAHWAH. That stupid cretin even called Assange un-american. He is Australian.
Bitch needs to grow a pair, and build thicker skin. From now on she's game, no pun intended. Femophobia, shmophobia.
Go ahead, junk me you bastards.
I suggest you refrain from the commentary on her intellectual deficits going forward then, because it has become horribly clear that the largest problem with Palin is not her IQ.
Ridiculing her simple-mindedness provides false reassurance to her opponents while strongly reinforcing the resentments about condescending, over-educated pricks that so strongly drive her supporters.
Not a good thing when we should all now understand that the problem with Palin is far more serious than her intelligence or her education. These, in fact, have become minor and irrelevant issues.

On a serious note (I was having so much fun until I saw your post), America did vote for GW TWICE. (Probably). So, yes there is the distinct possibility of seeing the first minion of the underworld on the throne of the WH. I suppose we really ought to be thankful that she is stupid and under-educated, because I doubt anything could stop that ambition of hers if she had a few more grey cells rolling around in that vacuum under her hair.
Dubya being another fine example of how much intelligence really matters.
We need to get out the word to folks that ridiculing an idiot's intelligence merely mobilizes millions of soldiers who themselves hate arrogant, condenscending, "over-educated" assholes like us. It's right before your eyes here on this forum. There is no mystery.
Feeding it is hardly evidence of intelligence on our part.
+1400!! A wise (wo)man learns much more from the fool than the fool learns from the wise (wo)man.
None of the above for me. Call me horrid, but I sometimes laugh at really, really stupid people. Because they're funny.
Mrs.Palin gives me the double satisfaction of laughter without guilt - she is stupid and she is nasty.
If you want to rationalize your defence of a subhuman monster who issues death threats to journalists, please do, and thank you for sharing.
Very nice.
"Is it femophobia, misogyny... There can be no other rational explanations."
Then, my dear, you are as cerebellum-challenged (perhaps, delusional) as Ms. Palin.
Stupid is stupid, no matter your chromosomal pairing. Calling out stupidity has nothing to do with gender politics, nor does being called on it mean you get to slap "victimhood" on yourself and wear it like a badge of honor.
Don't underestimate Palin, she was able to kill that caribou and it had a much higher IQ than her.
+10
Palin never called for anyone to be killed. She asked why the administration is not pursuing Assange as aggressively as it is the taliban leaders. Do all of you equate that as a death sentence? because she never used those words.
Meanwhile the occupant of the white house actually is issuing such orders against American citizens, and in neutral countries.
+1 robobbob it's no use .. all critical thinking and objectivity is thrown out the window whe you say the name "Sarah Palin" here.
Apparently so. When did this happen? Sheesh, you go away for awhile, then come back and the place is overrun with Palinistas! WTH...
Sir, your objectivity and tremendous thinking are now in the toilet.
Tag you're it.
Do you know whats really funny? Palin's off doing her thing. she makes one comment and WHAM, instant wall to wall coverage. Honestly, if it were entirely up to conservatives and tea partiers to promote her, she would have as much MSM coverage and J6P name recognition as Ron Paul.
So apparently, its the leftist media and bloggers who've made her a household name.
And by asking that question, you think she was implying exactly what? When it comes to certain people, we should throw out notions such as contextual interpretation out the window it seems.
Osama bin Laden is a Taliban leader? That's going to come as news to John Brennan.
I can see you are Secretary of State material in Palin's administration.
Anonymous just posted a file full of Mastercard numbers with dates...dunno if they're real. If so...scary. Maybe Palin should search that file.
yep i clocked it too. also felt scary, real sensations.
Brrr. Talk about historical times.
I never thought I'd see shit like that up close.
How so easily we throw out the ability to think objectively when it concerns somebody we despise or dont understand. I have looked over and over on multiple search engines to find where Sara Palin called for the assassination of Assange and I can't find it.
I see she says he should be hunted down like Osama Bin Laden and like the Taliban, but no where do I see a direct qoute from her calling for his death. I see where the Canadian Tom Flanigan call for it but please show me where Sara Palin did?
It's funny how our Biases show.
I thought most ZH'ers didn't get their info from the MSM???
Here's my bias, who fucking cares?
obviously quite a few ZH'ers do thus all the comments. Tyler must care thus the posting of the article.
so......you think she is not calling for his death when she says Assange should be hunted down like Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban? Hmmmm. Somewhere in your thought processes a fuse must blown out.
I never said that I think she is not calling for his death. I don't assume that she meant anything other then what she said hunt him down. ..first your putting words into her mouth then into mine.
It's really funny to get on here (ZH) and see all these enlighten people who claim to be beyond left and right bias and then you mention the name Sarah Palin and flames come out everyones ears and eyeballs but yet they claim to be beyond political biases.
and for the record I disagree with Sarah Palin and actually think Julian Assange did us a favor. I think the sex charges against him are bogus, but I also can't help but recognize the elitism and hypocricy of those who claim so often to be beyond the left/right paradigm jump so easily to hurl the same venom as the "left" and the MSM at Sarah Palin.
"I don't assume that she meant anything other then what she said hunt him down. ..first your putting words into her mouth then into mine."
My little 12 year old cousin whines, "You're putting words in my mouth!", whenever I repeat back to him something particularly absurd or stupid that he says from time to time. You're not him, are you?
Honestly, I'll spend 5 seconds of my time playing semantics with you - what else does "Hunt him down" mean? When you hunt something, the result is death is it not? According to you, it means something else entirely! Good luck explaining that one! Idiot.
to "hunt him down" could also be defined as "to pursue with intent to capture"
I guess my carkeys are lucky not to be alive since I have to hunt for them every morning
<groan> :)
It could be defined that way if I always use my predator uav with maveric missiles to find my car keys. But then, if I did that, I would be as mad as the people who defend Mrs.Palin's outbursts. Case closed.
rule number one for those lacking intelligence and lacking basis for their argument : name call!
Great job you adhered to rule number 1 no substance no basis so call me an idiot!
I guess only you would know all the rules for those lacking intelligence. :)
sooooooooooo there bucky, no person who believes the r/l stuff is bogus can then also believe that Palin, based on statements she made and leaving as gov in the middle of her term is a clown?
Are there any pols you believe are clowns now?
the only thing funny is your transparent bull crap .
so no right thinking person could believe her an idiot.
I am sure you speak for all the right thinkers there foxy.
You are, unfortunately, so intent on "exposing" hypocrisy that you see it where it doesn't exist. Furthermore, you blind yourself to the fact that Sarah Palin ignites such passionate disgust (particularly among intelligent "enlightened" persons) because of her willful ignorance, more so than her political affiliation. She is proud to be so stupid and to spread the gospel of stupidity to the world, and that is anathema to any thinking person, left, right or otherwise. You are correct that many here at ZH are beyond the "left/right paradigm", so stop focusing on so much on the trees and see the forest. Hint: that would be "the big picture" in general and Palin's calculated ignorance not her "conservative" label in this particular instance.
Apparently Osama won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, and with Ed McMahon now gone, somebody else has to track him down. Sarah is just trying to be helpful, doncha know.
"I see she says he should be hunted down like Osama Bin Laden and like the Taliban, but no where do I see a direct qoute from her calling for his death."
You're kidding, right? Tell me, do you think after we "hunted down" OBL, we were going to serve him tea and ask him politely to stop attacking us? Do you really believe Palin had no thoughts as to what to do w/Assange after equating him with Bin Laden and the Taliban and saying "he should be hunted down"? Your biases are showing, too.
++1
you need a paridigm shift out of left/right thinking and stop paying so much attention to the MSM Rula.
just seen on the twitter for OP that someone has leaked some C/C details.
could be b/s but could be escalation...
UPDATE: OP Twitter account suspended
also the CC data file is gone now from pastebin...but, I suspect, not before a bunch of people copied the file to their hard drives.
indeed. that's gonna be considered somewhat of a breach.
et tu, Twitter ?
Twitter blocks account of Operation Payback, WikiLeaks supporters; @Anon_Operation tweeted link to Mastercard numbers - NBC News
I Seem to remember that they didn't block any of those three letter acronyms from twitting during the Iran election.... Hmm.
Gee, it looks like the Junkers are out in force! LOL
This stunt reminds me of the "Tila Tequila attacked by Juggalos" attention whoring episode.
I'm a pretty conservative guy but man I sure wish Sarah Palin would JUST SHUT UP! She is good cheerleader and a media draw but I don't think she should open her mouth on important issues or major news items; she just can't seem to shove her foot in her mouth fast enough. I mean how much trouble would it be to take a few basic etiquette, public speaking, and critical thinking courses?
We can catch her up on history and geography as soon the basics are covered eh?
I think many many "misunderstimate" her.
One can't grow brains.
I may not be able to protect my identity but I am one hundred percent confident I can protect the country. Poor management all around. Recall something about some fed guy was also a victim of identity theft. Perhaps that explains why these people change so much when they enter public service, they lose their identity.
Oh, and to repeat from yesterday: Working as planned; TSA style pat downs of those entering the Internet should be in place before the end of next year.
Can I be first ?
Absolutely, a purely pleasurable experience.
You can't really brute force a webserver for credit card info. It usually requires significant social engineering or inside information.
This is retarded.
Sarah Palin is more intelligent than all the fools who trash her, including Tyler The Deluded One.
Is she smarter than you?
You betcha.
!!!VOTE!!! I would rather have a beer with Tyler than the Bimbo from Alaska!( no offense Alaska!!)
No chance you'll ever have a beer with either.
Geeezzz she is fucking stupid.
This post should be renamed:
"When the New Castrati Attacks!"
I like how Tyler selectively edited the ABC story, as if Sarah Palin is doing the investigating, not people who get paid to do so.
Palin has a knack of provoking fools to reveal their shallow character. This lady is a national treasure. Our last chance to restore the Constitution and free markets.
Would one of you arrogant knuckleheads please name an intelligent politician of national prominence? (Leave out Ron Paul)
I'll check back in a few hours.
I don't understand the venom about Palin. I do not like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, any number of the liberal dems attempting to lead our country, but I would never stoop to the infantile level of moronic ad hominem vitriole I observe being spewed by Palinophobes.
Neanderthal males frightened of your own erections perhaps?
Do you think Palin has national prominence? Funny, two years ago nobody in the lower 48 had ever even heard of her. Now she is everywhere, my, my , isn't it strange how things like that work.
Nader. Too bad he's such an arrogant ass though.
Nader is a strong supporter of the Constitution. I think he's learned humility after all these years. His exposure of the corruption in Congress and the rigged nature of national politics is priceless. He, too, is an enemy of the ruling class and they know it.
Ftw
“the governor voiced her opinion knowing full well that she was speaking out against a shady disreputable organization with no regard for laws or human life. This is how they operate. The world should not be intimidated by them."
Is she speaking about Wikileaks or the US govt?
Wait, she spoke out against someone who spoke out, and now is crying cuz someone gave her the smack down for speaking out?
Irony?
LMAO
Not only crying, but crying that she can't "exercise" the FA.
So, so stupid.
Smack down? Crime is the issue. These guys are thugs.
