Paris Hilton's hacked Sidekick releases unedited tell-all
posted February 20th 2005 12:49PM
Dude, could someone buy Paris Hilton an
OGO or a
Treo already? She had that
Sidekick
hacked once, and whether or not it's happened a second
time, someone's finally pulled the data and posted it all up online. They managed to dig up dirty camphone shots (right
alongside shots of her holding a baby and hanging out with kids—oh, Paris), her notebook, and her address book, which
has had such high-brow, mover-and-shaker entries as: Christina Aguilera, Devo Aoki, Fred Durst, Jermaine Dupri, Vicki
Gotti, Stephen King, David Lachappelle, Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan, Bijou Phillips, Ashlee Simpson, Twiggy, Usher,
and Vin Diesel. (We have a feeling she might not be getting some of those digits again once they've changed.) Anyone
care to guess which ones she hasn't done a tape with?
P.S. Nudity warning on link! Cover your eyes (but maybe peek just a little)!

its real jeez, Called alot of numbers got alot of machines but when this was first posted some of the voice mails used to have their real voice saying its their box, now someones got onto a few, lohans now has somejerk lahing and saying she just got owned
At the bottom of this mirror:
http://pad.au.com/~ms/Somebody%20got%20hizacked.htm
there are the recordings of phone calls to Eminem, Pauly and SethG, but they don't work...
does anyone know a mirror for them?
I know Mr. Calacanis would not approve of this news entry, nor the direct links in the comments within. I'm very disappointed in engadget for posting this nonsense.
You've lost a reader.
Is there a link to a more complete list of the numbers that have been called and what the outgoing messages say?
If this is for real, this is going to be big news on Monday.
ok i admit it was me who hacked her phone
i called peter, he said i was the twentieth person to call. its paris hiltons assistant cel phone!
the old phase too good to be true comes to mind
Here's an negative opinion on why crap like this is wrong. We're just encouraging the hackers:
http://www.firstadopter.com/fa/archives/000717.html
Privacy is important, this is pure tabloid journalism. Pathetic.
so engadget lost one (or maybe a couple readers) and gained about a million. I'd say this was a good call...although celebs really do deserve some privacy unless they are annoying.
called Pauly Shore, fast busy signal.
No room in Victoria Gotti's mail box.
Fans at an Avril message board called her. They reported that her outgoing message has (had?) her giggling at the start and saying something like "Sorry I had to turn off voicemail because everybody on the internet has this number now. And to my fans who are wondering - Yes this is really me. Hi there!" Pretty cool of her if this is true.
"And no, it is not Paris Hilton's fault. When consumers use their cellphones for private information, they have every right to believe it is secure. The real news is T-Mobile and Sidekick should have hell to pay for not protecting their customer's data."
Its both their fault. But most password systems are the same its called luck, when you type in the correct phone number and password. If anyone really wants to hack something I'm sure that they can easily bypass anything they want. Its obvious that someone really wanted that information. But really give the stars a break, aren't they pissed enought that thousands of people are calling them.
I just called Christina, Were going on a date tomorrow. :D
Christopher MacManus, lighten up buddy! It's Sunday and it's nice outside. Just relax and enjoy the pop-culture sink in.
I just called Christina, Were going on a date tomorrow. :D
soo i called Robert Shapiro....
I said "Hey Robert... its OJ.... i think you know why i am calling"
He said - "Again...?"
"Yeah... sorry.."
"Bloody Hell...."
"Ah No bloody gloove this time....."
juliuss, the weather is not nice here in Maryland.
Do you have any idea how much of an invasion of privacy this is? Sure, it's funny to you or whomever else gets a coy smile out of such personal information, but step outside yourself for a moment and think about how hurtful this act is. Private pictures, private phone numbers and etc - amongst such is the normal routine Paris employs for air travel and much more. What if some psycho gets a hold of this information and abducts Paris? Would you be laughing then?
What if you were a celebrity and this happened to you? Oh yeah, lighten up..it's a nice day out. I'd be bloody pissed.
mirror at: http://jm3.net/archives/paris-hacked/
Fake, fake, fake, fake! I mean really -- all the snapshots are flattering shots of Paris, and the links to the sites selling her porn tape? Oh and this is for real because Drudge says so, and he "confirmed" many of the numbers? HAHA. Right. He got suckered by Paris' people too.
I dont think paris of all people would mind. She already has a video out of her having sex, giving head, blah blah blah. I dont think these nude photos are any worse. She wants to be noticed. Want proof? ok, what is she famous for, really? Nothing! she's in the spot light cuz she wants to be. She wasnt some amaing actress in a film that everyone loves. Shes famous cuz she has money and uses it to get in the spotlight. Shes only on tv shows now, but she was famous before. I dont think she minds the lack of privacy...
Wow, this was fast.
http://www.paris-hacked.com/
ok seriously,
trying to call random celebs is kinda sad. please remember that secretly recording phone calls is a federal offense unless you get permission from the FBI or something...and if you record outgoing messages, you really should post a link to em;)
Re: #54
See? This is all a PR stunt! How quickly can one register a domain and start up a site? This was all preplanned and sheduled to happen today, Sunday, so people will be talking about it all this week.
I have to say -- I'm becoming impressed by Ms. Hilton's tactics.
I am counting the days until this non-talented attention-seeker disappears from the pop culture radar. Until then, I guess we'll have to put up with it for now.
The lesson that we take from the Divine Ms. H is that nothing in our interconnected world is private. Do we even believe that she even wanted this stuff to remain private?

Re: #56
You are correct. It's even more difficult to register a domain name like http://www.paris-hacked.com/ on the weekends. Normally it's a 48 hour turnaround (M-F) to register any domain name. Then, it has to propagate across the Internet.
I wonder which one of the contacts, is Paris' drug dealer.
My guess is "Lance" with the 702 number.
if this was planned shes gonna have no friends. Anna kournikova is pissed.
I asked if that was really her and she goes "maybe who the fuck are you, you probably got my number from the internet just like everyone else, bye"
not that she shouldnt be mad, It doesnt bother me but shes probably not impressed with paris.
We have no clue when this hack occurred. It is possible that the hackers set up the site, or more likely leaked it to someone else early in order to set up this site, then released it into the wild.
my 2 cents.
Quite wrong Michaela. paris-hacked.com turns up no results in the internic whois database, which was updated this morning at 7:58EST. If this was "preplanned and scheduled" don't you think we'd see some registration data there? More likely, someone registered it quickly and has good DNS propogation working for them.
I think it's totally plausable. T-mobile and most of the communications companies, have absolutely no security in place when it comes to internal employees.
I could totally see some kid hacking into an employee system, and from there, hacking into the main databases.
Re: #56
"please remember that secretly recording phone calls is a federal offense unless you get permission from the FBI or something"
Really? Here in Canada, as long as one party in the phone call is aware that its being recorded, it's legal. So I could call you and record it legally, as I am one of the two parties taking part in the conversation. I'm pretty sure it's the same in the US, as media outlets often play phone calls on the air, some of which are less than flattering to the subject. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
I'm on the fence about the veracity of this, but am leaning more towards this being a hoax. It's not impossible to get a number with the area code of your choice (telemarketers do this all the time). Paris is probably rich enough to buy hundreds of numbers that all supposedly go to a voicemail or say that the voicemail is full, or her people can acquire numbers that they know for sure are disconnected.
Then all she has to do is convince a couple of her celebrity friends who are willing to take part by either answering a phone sometimes or, more easily, record an outgoing message (like what Avril supposedly did). All she would need is less than a dozen or so famous friends to go along with this to make the whole scheme seem convincing.
Besides the publicity (as if this isn't a good enough reason alone for Paris), why bother with this? Because it drums up interest in her videos (the "incidental" mentions in her hacked notes of the sites selling her porn tapes), which she probably gets a lot of money from.
Genius really, and it wouldn't cost her much to pull off.
The one thing I do wonder is the FBI thing... that's the one factor that may show all of this is for real. If it's a hoax, wouldn't they have figured that the FBI might think it's real and investigate? Pulling off such a fraud might be a Federal offense of some kind.
Re: #56
No, you're completely wrong. For example, with DirectNIC.com, and many others, it's about a five minute turnaround to register a name, and propagation is not nearly as long as it used to take because the root servers are now updated hourly. It's possibly for a majority of the internet to have access to a newly registered domain name within a couple of hours. Additionally, that site is merely promoting the Paris sex tapes: trust me, this wasn't a "PR stunt" by Paris Hilton. There are hundreds of private numbers and email addresses of celebrities that are legitimate that are now out there.
Avril Lavigne was the only one I wanted to talk to so I called her. She didnt answer though, it just rang 5 times and went to an operator message.
Look, this could be doing someone a big favor - Like perhaps Luke Wilson has lost Pharrell's contact info... or now Fred Durst can sink even further and FINALLY get Avril Levine's number!
I'm only kidding. It's pretty messed-up. It's also clear to me now that she really didn't add my number when I told it to her.
Paris is a T-mobile employee. She is there key compensated endorser. You really think she is stupid enough to make T-mobile look this bad...oh, wait, we are talking about Paris.
To all you idiots who think this is a hoax, don't you know that T-Mobile was recently the victim of a very extensive hack, which netted the attacker things such as users' account passwords for login to the web site, which can then in turn reveal photos, phonebook, and notes?

Hacker penetrates T-Mobile systems
By Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus Jan 11 2005 7:43PM
A sophisticated computer hacker had access to servers at wireless giant T-Mobile for at least a year, which he used to monitor U.S. Secret Service e-mail, obtain customers' passwords and Social Security numbers, and download candid photos taken by Sidekick users, including Hollywood celebrities, SecurityFocus has learned.

This is NOT a hoax or a publicity stunt.
And, to the
i think media outlets call always fall back on the freedom of the press, and states have there own laws for individuals. But I think its a federal offense regardless of state laws if its an interstate call. Does anyone here know for sure? theres a news story today about a journalist recording pres bush. Media outlets can do all sorts of crazy things that citizens cant do here. I wonder if engadget counts as one?
surlyphil, except here in north dakota, where it is completely legal!

And, to the morons who think paris-hacked.net couldn't have been registered that quickly unless it was preplanned, um, you guys need to like, get up to date. You can register a domain with any number of registrars in minutes, and VeriSign now updates the .com and .net in near realtime:

Re: #72
"I wonder if engadget counts as one?"
Um, who cares if it does? Engadget hasn't posted any recordings of telephone conversations, has it?
Think before you post.
HIDE ALL YOUR PRON! HIDE ALL YOUR PRON! ANYBODY POSTING TO THIS THREAD WILL BE VISITED BY THE FEDS ON TUESDAY! (They get Monday off for the holiday.)
74 didn't say it did. I was just wondering if it could. read before you snip.
Re: #66
You are, in short, a dumbass.
Listen to yourself:
T-Mobile was just recently hacked, revealing all of the customer information and account passwords for all of its users, and instead of admitting that this is probably a result of that hack, you think that Paris Hilton secured hundreds of phone numbers, some operated by different carriers, with fake voicemail full recordings OR genuine recordings with celebrity voices, AND - on top of that - got some of her friends to agree to *answer their phones*. On top of which, Paris isn't getting any money from the sites selling that tape, unless, of course, you're stupid enough to believe that it's Paris herself behind those sites (and, no doubt, you probably are that stupid).
Instead of the, you know, SIMPLEST explanation, which is that PARIS WAS ONE OF THE CUSTOMERS HACKED BY THE UNPRECEDENTED T-MOBILE HACK: http://www.securityfocus.com/news/10271 http://www.theregister.com/2005/02/16/t_mobile_hacker_guilty/
But hey, believe what you want.
All I have to say about all of this is thank god I'm not a T-Mobile user, nor do I own any of their stock. (Will their stock go into the shitter come Tuesday, after the President's Day holiday?) Paris will look bad to her celebrity peers, but T-Mobile comes off of this looking worse.
Re: #78
Yes, this will probably give it publicity, but the T-Mobile hack is OLD NEWS. The guy who pulled it off has already even pled guilty:
http://www.theregister.com/2005/02/16/t_mobile_hacker_guilty/
You know she planned this like she did for her video. Interesting there happened to be nude photos in this publicity stunt just like the last one.
Futhman of SA's mirror, since he posted the original link up to another domain:
http://arafatkazi.com/sa/paris
the tmobile hack is "old" news but the paris hilton hack isn't. it was just posted saturday night. but it is real. i called some of the numbers, and i mostly got full voicemail boxes. ive found a couple of sites that have recorded calls.
