A group called Anonymous has claimed responsibility for the hacking of Mrs Palin's Yahoo e-mail.
The hacking comes amid questions about whether Mrs Palin used personal e-mail to conduct state business.
According to law, all e-mails relating to the official business of government must be archived and not destroyed. However, personal e-mails can be deleted.
Mrs Palin is currently under investigation in Alaska for alleged abuse of power while governor.
It posted five screenshots, two digital photos of Mrs Palin's family and an address book to the whistle-blowing Wikileaks website. The information was taken from Ms Palin's gov.palin@yahoo.com e-mail account.
One message exposed is apparently an exchange between Mrs Palin and the deputy governor of Alaska, Sean Parnell, who is seeking election to Congress.
Another is between Mrs Palin and friend Amy McCorkell, in which the latter says she is praying for the governor and adds: "Don't let the negative press get you down!"
The family photographs of the Palins posted on Wikileaks are not thought to have previously been in the public domain.
Subsequent investigation has shown that the gov.palin@yahoo.com account has been shut down along with another, gov.sarah@yahoo.com, also owned by Mrs Palin.

First of all, why is Sarah so idiotic about her "anonymous" email names?
C'mon! GOV.sarah@yahoo.com and GOV.palin@yahoo.com ...what kind of moron does this?
I forgot, its ego...only ego would have driven someone to let the WHOLE world know that their anonymous private email account if from the Governor.
How many Governor Sarahs and Governor Palins are there on the internet...DUH!
You never see JANITOR.joe@yahoo.com or ACCOUNTANT.paul@yahoo.com
On the plus side at least she didn't use something riske` like Gov.barracudamouth@yahoo.com or Gov.nicerack.palin@yahoo.com
Also to Anonymous, although I personally do not condone crime...civil disobedience like this is almost always appreciated by the masses.
The general public appreciates a thumb of the nose to authority figures, it is what makes us American and gives Anonymous the appearance of a Robin Hood mentality.
Others would argue it as Palin's right to privacy stolen but is it so different if Palin's pro-life stance stole that choice from every woman in this country?
Or that the GOP would have persons whom were foreclosed on unable to vote?
And again, it probably never would have happened if she was the least bit tech savvy.
John McCain doesn't know where the Internet is but hears those dang teens talking about that inter-thingy and Sarah Palin uses anonymous log in names so ridiculously easy to decipher as to be cracked by what is possibly a collection of kids from a junior high school some where.
Are these the people we really want with their fingers on the button?
