Sarah Palin will testify at the trial of the guy who hacked into her email account in 2008:Palin set to take stand in Tenn. hacking trialI like Palin and all, but I think that her moves are now calculated to benefit her rather than to put her at a disadvantage (the same as most politicians). So what advantages does this provide for her? I imagine she could have fought this more if she wanted to, but she agreed to testify. I'm thinking that because she is not in any elected office anymore, she benefits by staying in the public eye on a continual basis. This trial will certainly further that since it was a major story during the 2008 election. Also, the attention will likely be sympathetic to her since it casts her in the light of a victim at the hands of a criminal operative who helped (perhaps unilaterally) the Obama campaign and therefore Democrats in general. Anyway, this is just a theory about why she might have decided to do this.
Seems logical. My one question is why would she use a yahoo.com acct. for gov't business? That's pretty weird, methinks.
I think that it makes it easier to log on when you're traveling around. If you use Microsoft Outlook, for example, you normally have to be at your main computer to check messages. If you use hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc., it's quite a bit easier to log on from wherever. Just a possibility.

May well be. When I was still teaching the district allowed for remote access thru a Microsoft exchange server. Not sure it would be any more secure; serious hackers will usually find a way in.
I would guess because Gov. Systems are so secure they are difficult to use when not plugges in to their home network. We have a VPN lcient on our machines but they are such a pian to use that I generally leave mine at work when I go TDY unless I absultely need to get on for some reason. Then I take it. The security makes sense when you think about it, DOD probably has the most attacked network in the world.
