Sarah Palin has confirmed she was attacked by WikiLeaks for her statements against its founder Julian Assange.
From FoxNews:
Sarah Palin confirmed to Fox News that WikiLeaks supporters were "hacking" into her political action committee account, apparently in retaliation for speaking out against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
The former Alaska governor said in an e-mail that, "Wikileaks is hacking into my SarahPac accounts and files and website." She said her husband Todd also received a call from their credit card company "saying we have to shut down our accounts" and get new credit cards because "hack attempts in London have disrupted our personal finance accounts."
Palin said she wanted to give supporters a heads-up in case she has to shut down her personal e-mail and other accounts. Palin, a Fox News contributor, suggested the hacking was payback for her comments on WikiLeaks after the organization released thousands of classified State Department documents.
"No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange's antics; this is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment," Palin said.
