Exclusive: Palin Under Cyber-Attack from Wikileaks Supporters in 'Operation Payback' LOL

[Joanne98]

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."

3. In the midst of the darkness,

there is some light. Thank you, Operation Payback.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

4. My default assumption is that she's lying

That's just my starting point with Palin. As a bonus, if she is lying, she's about to get acquainted with what hacking is all about. On the other hand, if she's not lying, her "bring 'em on" attitude will result in the same. I think they call that a win-win.

[Joanne98]

8. True. She is a pathological liar.

[DFab420]

5. Again. I'm calling bullshit on Sarah

I think nothing is wrong with her information, she's just

A) Slandering WikiLeaks and those that have joined up with it

and
B) injecting herself into a news story that is far bigger then her little television show..

Wikileaks.org isn't even a valid domain right now.

:rofl:

[John Q. Citizen]

11. she can't even protect her web page, how could she protect America?

Somebody has to ask....

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. Hey now - she stopped excerpts from her book from being published.

As if anyone gives a shit...

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Just gotta be the center of attention at all times, eh?

I call bullshit.

Besides, I think she meant "anti-American", not "un-American", but the clueless broad thinks Aussies can be charged with Treason against the US, so who knows what is rolling around in that empty head of hers.

[frylock]

14. she's lying..

you can friend Operation Payback on teh facebooks. they've been updating their wall quite frequently. i just checked and, nope, not one mention of sarah plain and stupid. current target is VISA.

[MelissaB]

[frylock]

[karynnj]

15. This actually is not funny

This shows how fragile and unsafe our computer linked accounts really are.

[EFerrari]

17. Of course, it's gallows humor.

But unlike you, I don't think Armageddon Spice is aware that her privilege is vulnerable.

[Angry Dragon]

16. sarah, they call that freedom of speech

[slay]

18. Mrs. High-and-mighty loves power when it's in HER hands

but not when others use it against her. Well too bad - she's a mean spirited, hateful person employed by the Propaganda channel foxnews. She gets what she deserves. She's showing those in power - hey I'm on your side - I want to keep your deep dark horrible secrets if you'll just let me be president. :puke:

[malaise]

30. Ding ding

We have a winner - only ReTHUGS and teabaggers have rights.

[Matariki]

20. Oh, now she likes the First Amendment?

[NuclearDem]

21. Sarah called down the thunder...

...now she's reaping the whirlwind.

[lunatica]

22. Is it possible they can silence her in other ways?!

Even just reading what she says grates like nails on a blackboard. I don't even have to hear her voice anymore

[krabigirl]

23. If this is true, this i support.

[FarLeftRage]

24. She's just fucked in the skull...

and full of shit to "think" that... :puke:

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

25. ROFLMAO!!! Can't wait...

Can't wait to find out who's next.

Hannity? O'Rielly? Limbaugh? Beck?

[AndrewP]

28. Now THAT is great news!!

[MiniMe]

32. There was a cyber attack sutting down all visa and master card operations

Per the news, it didn't affect credit card use supposedly, just the main websites. Sarah probably had a problem viewing her credit card information and assumed the attack was aimed at her personally. Paranoid much Sarah? I agree with a previous poster, she can't even protect her own website against a cyber attack.
