I’m sure by now you’ve heard of the latest buzz on the supposed hacking of Paris Hilton’s Sidekick. And after viewing a few of these websites and the purported information offered from this tech gadget, I was utterly suprised that this information actually appers to legit.

It’s a very scary premise for all those contacts on the device, as well as users of such gadgetry as well. It’s amazing how quickly such information can and was spread to all corners of the connected world. Sadly, I think we’ve only begun as can also be attested to in the Choicepoint data leakage as well.

You’d think the idiots that hold all this sensitive data would place a little higher value on such data, but I highly doubt that they care when someone gets their identity stolen, it’s not their fault!

It’s too bad that all those contacts on Ms. Hilton’s Sidekick have probably already changed their numbers and/or disassociated themselves from her, as I wouldn’t mind asking , oh say, Lindsay Lohan how’s things are going in her career. 🙂
