Mobile Phone Hacking touches Starry Heights
In an incident, which could possibly start debates around the world on how secure our mobile phones are… Paris Hilton found her T-Mobile Sidekick hacked. Worse, all the numbers on that phone are now finding its way on the Internet. The Drudge Report has confirmed that numbers available on the sites on the Internet are quite genuine and the reports of the mobile phone being hacked are true.
FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) has been called in to investigate the matter. Some stars whose numbers were available on the net are Eminem, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera. Other rumored celebrities to be present on the phone are Anna Kournikova, Vin Diesel, Ashlee Simpson, and tennis star Andy Roddick.
Reports also said that after receiving calls from hundreds of strangers on their mobiles, many of these stars have already been forced to change their numbers. The hackers being held responsible for this hacking incident is said to be a group, which calls itself ‘The Niggas at DFNCTSC’.
Everything said and done, this turn of event is sure to arise fears in the minds of mobile phone users to reconsider what information to keep on their handsets. With technologies like Bluetooth and wireless data transfer becoming common around the mobile handsets, there is no guarantee when your own mobile handset could be hacked.

it´s about time that this superstar royal family got their come-uppance. Are they really talented because they are TV presenters/celebrities? Don´t make me laugh….
Well it certainly would be personally inconvenient, if it happened to me. Not newsworthy unless it happens to many at once but really, does it matter if a two bit porn star who virtually begs people to “check her out” gets “checked out”. Considering her “target demographic” this was inevitable.
Grow up people. In this instance, she got everything she deserves. It’s just sad that people tend to walk around like a bunch of kindergardeners in a world that is at best ambivalent to your well being when it comes to the media.
Barring a drug overdose or some other unfortunate event, we can all look forward to her slightly sclerotic fantasy premiere in 2025 “I’ve still got it ,yet another night in Paris”. She’ll still have issues using her cell phone and “worse” someone will have hacked the genome of her favorite Chihuahua Tinkerbell 8.
Whether she got what she deserved is beside the point. The point is that this sort of thing is not going to be restricted to celebs. If it happened to her, it’ll happen to ordinary people soon enough. I don’t know about you, but I’d really rather not have my grandmother’s phone number posted anyplace.
Whether anyone likes or respects Ms. Hilton, they should take what happened to her as a warning and be careful about the information stored on cell phones and also put pressure on vendors to make the devices more secure.
Is there a website NOW that is posting the phone numbers that were in Paris Hilton;’s cell???

Lets not have sour grapes over those who are famous. A crime is a crime no matter who it happens too. I am sure that this hack act will cause many not to archive their personal data on the T mobiles.
That is like locking your doors because there was a theft down the street. And, that is just another key to worry about. So, the companys that make these phones have to beef up the encryption coding.
umm i think that this is terrible
Get real. I don’t know why the common man is so frightened of getting hacked. It’s a matter of curiosity and intrigue, hackers aren’t too interested in what the guy down the street with a wife and 2.5 kids is doing and what is on his t-mobile account. They want to see what everyone in the world is curious about. That’s right #3, there are about 6.5 billion people who could have access to your grandmother’s phone number but wouldn’t care.
And don’t even pretend like like this is some invasion of privacy unheard of. Paparazzi, anyone? Celebs especially should know that they need to be careful all the time because saying one wrong thing to somone means the whole world hears it. Anyone should think twice before making a sex video and taking pictures of themself topless with their phone, or talking crap about someone because stuff like that gets out.
Get over it everyone.
its not funny.
since when are you unethical types allowed to do as you please and recieve verbal suport from vindictive empty low lifes as yourselfs
