It has been a brutal week for celebrity web account hackers. As we reported, on Friday a Federal judge sentenced a University of Tennessee student engaged in the pastime to a year in the slammer. David Kernell was caught sleuthing into former Vice-Presidential candidate and pundit Sarah Palin's Yahoo! e-mail account. He posted some of the photos he found on various image sites. 

In the course of the trial, the economics student's lawyers managed to dodge wire-fraud and identity theft charges. But the court found Kernell guilty of misdemeanor computer intrusion and a felony count of obstruction of justice (deleting evidence)—hence the prison time.
