SECURITY ALERT
Last week hackers broke into the T-mobile server and stole personal information from esteemed actress Paris Hiltons’ account-- including celebrity phone lists, chat transcripts and personal notes. "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," Zidar said, cleverly casting all blame on the actress.
As it turns, her password was “paris”. Here’s a small sample of what leaked out:
Paris: so wats going on
Nichole: just watching us on tv
Paris: do I look hot
Nichole totally. love that pink sweater
Paris: I hate it
Nichole yeah, me too
Paris: it only cost me 5 thousand,
no more dolce for me
Snoop yo dog, wat up
Paris digging my sidekick
Snoop: I’m doing my own laundry
Paris: that’s so hot
Hillary: hi everyone how are you all doing
Police have apprehended a suspect and detained him for questioning. Law officials are keeping his identity confidential, being that the suspect is only 5 years old. When asked to change her password to something more difficult to decipher, Paris replied, “I’ll change it to ‘hilton’”, adding, “but this time I’ll use all capital letters.” “Good thinking,” answered her lifetime bestfriend.
With a question of security now on everyone’s mind, at least if you read the first part of this sentence, I decided to find out how easily our personal accounts could be accessed and spent the better part of last Saturday evening using my “computer hacking skills” to break into Jon Smalls directory. The following information is for demonstrative purposes only, please don’t distribute or use in any illegal manner:
Phone Contacts
The Boss (240) 555-8601
The Guy I Boss over (240) 555-8611
Mom (xxx) xxx-xxxx
Best Friend (xxx) xxx-xxxx
Travel Agent (xxx) xxx-xxxx
Madame Mings House of Delights ?
As I’ve just clearly illustrated, it is infact very easy to gain unlawful access to private information. When asked about this gaping security loophole, T-mobile officials in the Beltsville office pointed out a multi-step approach, entitled “The Big 5”.
I'm an average joe, my family comes first while I try to make a difference in the world. This blog is part journal, part advice, and part compendium! Enjoy!
