T-Mobile Hack Leaks Celebrity Numbers
UPDATED Hotel heiress Paris Hilton has had her privacy violated yet again. Over the weekend, details of Miss Hilton's private life, personal photos and the phone numbers of A-List celebrities circulated in droves throughout the Web after a hacker gained unauthorized access to the mobile maven's T-Mobile Sidekick II.
Hilton's address book is a paparazzi's dream come true: Rapper Eminem, actress Lindsay Lohan, Pharrel, Usher, Fred Durst, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Vin Diesel, and Anna Kournikova are just a handful of the stars that had their private telephone numbers and e-mail addresses exposed by the leak of Hilton's electronic black book.
In what may be a case of deja vu all over again, personal photos taken by Hilton with her Sidekick are now flooding the Web.
The hackers also turned up private T-Mobile notes that provide an uncanny and invasive glimpse into the jet setting lifestyle of Hilton as she laid out her day-by-day itinerary. Dance class workouts, trips on private planes and Steve Madden photo shoots fit the heiress's fancy from November into early January.
"T-Mobile's computer forensics and security team is actively investigating to determine how Ms. Hilton's information was obtained. This includes the possibility that someone had access to one of Ms. Hilton's devices and/or knew her account password," a T-Mobile spokesperson told BetaNews.
"Given the sensitivity of the situation, and to protect our customers' information, we are not able to provide specific details of the investigation at this point."
Internet news reports claim that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has opened up an investigation into the incident.
