News Sarah Palin hacker's Athens, Ga. connection

OMG y'all! Sarah Palin's cybersecurity was like, totally breached, and all her e-mails and photos of aerial wolf hunting were stolen. And just like everything bizarre in this world, it turns out there's a Georgia connection. It's in Athens, the land of drunks, an Arch, and a bunch of bulldogs on street corners!
The Associated Press reports that the Internet anonymity service used by the person who hacked Palin's Yahoo account is based in the college town I know, love and that I miss dearly.
Investigators were waiting to speak with Gabriel Ramuglia of Athens, Ga., who operates an Internet anonymity service used by the hacker. Ramuglia told the AP on Thursday he was reviewing his own logs and promised to turn over any helpful information to authorities because the hacker violated rules against using the anonymity service for illegal activities."If you're doing something illegal and causing me issues by doing this, I'm willing to cooperate," Ramuglia said. "Obviously this is the most high profile situation I've dealt with."
