Operation Payback target

On December 8, 2010, Sarah Palin announced that her website and personal credit card information were compromised.[2] Palin's team believed it was the work of Anonymous, though Anonymous never tweeted anything about choosing Palin as a target for the Denial-of-service attack.[2][3][4] An Anonymous member has stated "We don’t really care about Sarah Palin that much, to be honest. I don’t really know what she’s trying to accomplish or what attention she is trying to gain. We personally don’t care about Sarah Palin."[5] Her technical team posted a screenshot of a server log file showing the wikileaks.org hostname[2][4] The Visa denial of service attacks did not result in credit card data being compromised. It is unknown whether Palin's card was compromised as part of a broad attack on Visa or a specific attack on the Palins.[4] Sarah Palin's email had already been hacked[6] in 2008.
