A software security expert said anyone who uses Web-based technology to store personal information is potentially at risk. Mastoras said that while security issues surrounding mobile devices were not one of his top concerns, he said the growing popularity of the devices coupled with wireless technology such as Bluetooth, which allows them to communicate with one another even while they are not in use, is opening the door for greater problems.
He cited one virus known as Cabir, which spreads over smart phones. The virus infects the phone's software and turns all its icons into skulls and crossbones, rendering them useless. Mastoras said that while the viruses could cause the loss of data on a mobile phone such as contact numbers, the phone itself could most likely be repaired by reinstalling the software. As far as protection from hackers or thieves, Zidar said users could better guard themselves by choosing a difficult password and not giving it out to anyone, not responding to suspect online solicitations for their password and by contacting their service provider should the device be stolen or lost.
More Personal Tech Intel's earnings beat, but Hilton's T-Mobile Sidekick was hacked at least twice , so she should get a pass for this one. Spoofcard says they caught Hilton doing exactly that: SpoofCard. Does anyone else find it disturbing that she holds a skunk, an owl, a dog, and a human baby in exactly the same way? I do feel bad for Paris though, this must absofuckinglutely suck. I find it funny that she does that thing with her head even when it's just a camera phone.
Reminds me of that comedian that did the bit about having a "candid shot pose" ready all throughout the 80's. Tom Pappa? Has there ever been a picture of her face from straight on? I mean, they could require a more secure password mixed case, at least 1 number but how many places really do that anyway?
T-Mobile's no different. I have a sidekick, two of my friends have sidekicks. We already know how insecure these things are. I'm, like, NOT downloading those pics. Yeah, that's it. OOOoh - Paris Hilton is 'exposed' again.
Is there any chance another of her shows is going to begin airing really soon? I don't think I could ever feel sorry for someone who does that. Fred Durst's number is in there, as well as his email. Freds voicemail is already full. The few numbers I've tried calling so far are either invalid now, or go to a generic voicemail. It uses an online server to store at least some information, including phone numbers. The Drudge Report said it had confirmed the authenticity of many of the numbers and e-mail addresses, including those of rapper Eminem, actor Vin Diesel, actress Lindsay Lohan, singers Christina Aguilera and Ashlee Simpson, and tennis players Andy Roddick and Anna Kournikova.
The information was allegedly posted on Illmob. The FBI reportedly has opened an investigation. The company declined to say when the breach had occurred or when it was discovered, citing an ongoing investigation.
