t looks like Sarah Palin wasnt the only target of an online hacker. Law enforcement officials are investigating claims that the private e-mail accounts of the Republican vice presidential candidates family and staff were also compromised.
Yesterday, the Department received a referral alleging that the personal e-mail accounts of Gov. Sarah Palin, her staff, and her family had been unlawfully hacked. The Department is reviewing the matter, Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney said on Thursday.
The FBI and Secret Service launched a formal investigation on Wednesday into the hacking of one of Palins Yahoo! e-mail accounts. Yahoo! declined to comment Thursday on details of the investigation, citing Palins privacy and the sensitivity of such investigations.

I would not be surprised if this gets traced back to the highest levels of the Obama campaign.
Clearly they were unaware of the Logan Act, so why would they be unaware that e-mail hacking is also a federal crime?
