The group released personal photos, Palin's address book, and select e-mails. Palin is under investigation for abuse of authority while in power as governor of Alaska. At least one e-mail indicates she had personal contact with political allies.
Per law, any e-mail correspondence regarding official matters is to be archived and not deleted; personal accounts are free from this restriction. The group may have been trying to make public information which would implicate Palin using her personal account(s) for job-related matters, which would violate this law.
Interestingly, Palin's "personal" accounts were "gov.sarah" and "gov.palin." Both accounts have since been confirmed as disabled/deleted.
