A Tennessee man has been indicted for hacking into Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account, the Justice Department said on Wednesday.

David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, turned himself in and will appear before a U.S. judge on Wednesday, the Justice Department said. He faces up to 5 years in prison if convicted.

According to the indictment, Kernell accessed Palin’s account, gov.palin@yahoo.com, on September 16 after correctly answering a series of personal questions.

Yahoo allows users to change their passwords if they confirm personal information such as their birth date and ZIP code and correctly answer a personal question such as the name of their first pet.

Kernell then posted some of the account’s contents, along with the password, to the online message board 4chan.org, the indictment says.

Kernell, known online as “rubico,” also posted family members’ cellphone numbers and e-mail addresses online, the indictment says.

Kernell is the son of a Democratic state legislator, according to local media reports. The legislator, Mike Kernell, did not immediately return a request for comment.

Palin occasionally used the account to conduct state business, according to media reports. Critics have charged that she uses the account to get around public-records laws.

Palin is the running mate of Republican presidential candidate John McCain in the November 4 election.

Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt called the hack “deeply troubling.”

“We are certain that the proper authorities will pursue justice and send a clear signal to reassure all Americans that their personal e-mail accounts cannot be hacked into with impunity,” Schmitt said in a statement.

Last weekend, we went at the shopping center to dine out. I ordered my favorite meal and a dessert. I enjoyed days like this when hub and I have lots of time together. So its just great to enjoy every minute of it. We also decided to see a movie after the lunch but I wanted to roam around first the shopping area.

We went to our favorite apparel shop, I was looking for some clothes for me but I was not in the mood for shopping. I just went with hub who was busy fitting some Outerwear, Pants and Fitness Apparel. I thought he will only buy one from those he fitted but he bought them all. I just thought that today is his shopping day since he seldom shops for himself. I was amaze of his choices and he can shop already alone without asking my idea. He reveled to me that he read about some tips on Men‘s Guide To Getting Dressed and Clothing for Men Buying Guide. And that helps him to find what he really likes. Next time he will also try online shopping which he read in Shopwiki about Men‘s Guide to Holiday Dressing.
