Paris Hilton's Sidekick hacked

That's right kids some l33t h@x0r(z) h@ck3d h1l70nz $1d3k1ck. For those of you who are not quite as gifted as me that translates to some kid with no social life hacked Paris Hilton's overpriced phone/organizer device. One of the highlights of this invasion was the theft of her address book, thats right the address book of a celebrity who would obviously have other celebrities in her address book. So now if you are very clever you can use Google to find this address book that has a few hundred celebrities personal numbers in it some of note are as follows. Ashlee Simpson, Vin Diesel, Nicky Hilton, Daddy Hilton, Avril Lavinge, Eminem, Bow Wow and many more. Apparently some pictures and perhaps some video were taken as well although I'm not 100% positive about the video I know pictures were stolen aswell. All in all I find this quite funny simply because its Paris Hilton and apparently her password was taken via social engineering, in short she told someone her password. Apparently a man by the name of Nicolas Jacobsen is responsible for this mishap, he is also responsible for hacking T-Mobile's servers as well. But sadly he got busted and will now probably spend several years in jail because hacking is infact a crime and is punishable by jail time and a fine. So remember hacking is bad, you can get caught yada yada yada don't do it stay in school maybe find a girl or something so you arent tempted to start trying shit like this, as funny as it is. That's all I have to say for now. Case closed.
