yeah the links I had are down now too, but the info is still out there, some people rewrote the info or took pictures of the info and posted those instead which is harder to locate for the fbi, especially if it isnt named parishilton.jpg...
I didnt try calling anyone and dont want to call any of them. I know its just as easy to get my info as her. But you can do some things to protect yourself, like use an extremely long nonsense type password and change it, often.
When I wrote this I wasnt considering whether this was an act of hacking or cracking. Hackers tend to be feeding some cause, feel theyre doing something to benefit the general public (kinda how its used in most movies- take this code, use it, its free). Crackers just do **** cuz they can and to cause chaos.
On one of the sites I saw it said it was obtained through social tactics (suggesting she just gave out her password to the wrong person). Im not sure if thats true or not but working for an online forum provider, I can tell you the number one reason people get screwed over IS giving away your information. (here sign in as me for a sec and see this...)
Anyways. I was most amused by the nude photos, who takes nude photos on their phone? And who was holding the phone if she was kissing her beau?
