The FBI over the weekend executed a search on the apartment of a University of Tennessee student suspected in the hacking of Republican vice presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin's Yahoo e-mail account.

While that was going on, other hackers broke into the personal site of Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly, who had been carrying on for several days in anger over the hacks, and posted subscriber information to the WikiLeaks Web site.

A spokesperson for the Department of Justice confirmed to InternetNews.com that "Investigatory activities related to the inquiry took place in Knoxville late Saturday night or early Sunday morning." Last week, Tennessee state legislator Mike Kernell, a Democratic representative from Memphis, said his son David was a suspect in the investigation.

"I had nothing to do with it, I had no knowledge or anything," Rep. Kernell told the Associated Press. "I was not a party to anything of this nature at all. I wasn't in on this … and I wouldn't know how to do anything like that."

4. The password was "pinhead"

I'm just guessing.

He's probably changed it now though.

Now, it's probably "shut-up" or "loofah" or "Malmedy" or "Mackriss."


Another way it could have been hacked, Jim Ward from "The Stephanie Miller Show" could have called-in to Fox impersonating Bill O'Reilly in an angry, screaming tirade and bullied some techie into giving him the password,"I forgot my password! FUCKING THING SUCKS! Just give me the password, AND I'LL DO IT LIVE!"
