News Paris Hilton's sidekick hacked

Looks like her phone book is going to be as prevelent on the web as a certain video of her... This from elReg:

Paris Hilton's address book, famously kept on a T-Mobile Sidekick, has been popping up all over the internet after someone managed to figure out her password.

The Drudge Report says that it has confirmed the authenticity of many of the numbers, presumably a polite way of saying they've been crank calling Anna Kournikova and Lindsay Lohan all weekend. The FBI has reportedly opened an investigation.

Files exposed to the world also include Paris' travel habits, airline and hotel preferences, along with her private notes.

The information landed online just days after hacker Nicolas Jacobsen pled guilty to a single charge of intentionally accessing a protected computer and recklessly causing damage. Jacobsen was arrested by US authorities last October, but had had access to T-Mobile's servers for more than a year. He reportedly amused himself by accessing US Secret Service email, and raiding other Sidekick users' accounts.

Paris Hilton. Argh. When will we ever stop hearing about her? What has she done? She's not that attractive, on a crap tv show, is seemingly brain-dead and is so out of touch with reality that it's scarry. Why do people care so much about what she does or what happens to her?

 

I saw the list of numbers on another forum. I guess some people aren't going to be too happy with her.

 

I saw the thread title, I thought you were talking about Nicole Richie

 

Probably for the same reason that I can't seem to stop myself from staring at your avatar....I want to look away....but there is a certain morbid fascination. Honestly I can't imagine why anyone would care about Paris Hilton. On top of everything you said, she's so skinny that if she turns sideways she disappears from sight. And I would just like to reiterate the ignorance. I didn't think someone that stupid would still be able to live.

 

She`s famous for being famous, nothing else. Why doesn`t any of these articles mention that the hackers also downloaded the pictures taken with her cameraphone? Especially the topless picture where she`s making out with another girl?

 

Whos Paris Hilton?

 

What's a dremel?

She's the daughter of the Hilton hotel guy iirc...that's it

<A88>

 

She's INCREDIBLY rich..... and that's about it. Still, I'd do her

 

Pros and cons of beign famous!

 

Famous for being an idiot. Being the dumbest dumb blonde on TV

 

Hahahahaha

Now that would be news worthy!

 

I had a look at the numbers, some interesting names among them. Eminem, Vin Diesel, Ashlee Simpson.

One of my friends on IRC rang Ashlee, she wasn't too happy!

 

i wish.

you'd better back that up...

 

Why does she keep pictures of herself topless on her sidekick? It makes no sense! But judging from the list of emails there, there's going to be a WHOLE LOT of spam for a few people soon enough.

 

i'm just glad she does

If someone were to hack my phone the police would say "We'll see what we can do, but don't expect too much". Paris Hilton's phone is hacked and the FBI is on the case. Don't you just love the gigantic class distinction here in the USA?

 

i read this somewhere too. I bet sales of sidekicks went up for tmobile.

 

Her password was probably just her dogs name or something easy like that. I bet she wanted it hacked. Hell, she may have leaked it. Who takes so many pictures of themselves on their own phone? Pictures like those.
