Ho- hum, another technologically challenged candidate, it keeps getting better, although I don’t wish this on anyone by any means and hope they find the violator, but good grief, perhaps the FBI or some other government agency might help folks in limelight understand what “encryption” means, and explain where and how you can get a secure email account, lots of them out there and the FBI and many other government agencies use encryption. 
Security breach story of the week.
If one is in the public eye, it might not be a good idea to rely on a free web email account to send some of your most sensitive information as one is almost a walking target, so and “F” for technology knowledge here and shoot, how many others do this. If you have a personal account, keep it that way and refrain from doing business from a non-encrypted email account.
Any doctors reading here? If you do any email correspondence with patients and there is any matters that fall under privacy, better not be using a free non-encrypted email account. GMail has a free secure service as a simple example and you can upgrade your Yahoo account for secure services, think about it. You may not be as big of a moving target as Palin, but you don’t want to gamble, plus there’s HIPAA to think about. BD
Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's private Yahoo e-mail account was hacked, and some of its contents posted on the internet Wednesday. The internet griefers known as Anonymous took credit for the intrusion, and screenshots of e-mail messages and photos belonging to the Alaska governor have been published by WikiLeaks. Threat Level has confirmed the authenticity of at least one of the e-mails.
