Posted by timothy on from the sounds-like-a-movie-plot dept.

An anonymous reader writes "SecurityFocus.com reports '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.' Demi Moore and Paris Hilton are involved."

    This whole thing was probably conceived to give Paris Hilton more publicity. Who cares? Why does anybody care about her?
