This week, Sarah Palin’s email gets hacked into at her Yahoo! Mail account. Apparently, the breaker used the password recovery feature in Yahoo! Mail to take guesses at the secret question. All that was done was a bit of searching on the Internet to dig up the answer to Palin’s secret question.
 
This goes to show that if you use online web-mail, you can never be too safe. Make sure that not only your password is secure, but also your secret questions. With social networking so popular these days, it makes finding answers to questions about your life a lot easier.

I hate to find public e-mail accounts forcing you to enter secret questions and answers. I usually ignore them and enter garbage in the fields.

this is a really good idea. this summary as a headline story is one less full story for you guys to proofread (and you could use more time for that :)

seriously tho, it is nice for when you've missed a day or two of reading news. hope to see it more
