Hilton and Pals' Personal Info Posted On Internet

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook

Paris Hilton's Sidekick phone has been hacked into and the contents of her address book have been posted on the internet.

Phone numbers and email addresses of a number of celebrities have mysteriously popped up on the internet since Hilton's phone hack occurred. Some of these stars include Eminem, Lindsay Lohan,Christina Aguilera, Anna Kournikova, Vin Diesel, Ashlee Simpson and Andy Roddick.


The FBI is conducting an investigation but apparently doesn't have any leads.

A New York Daily News article says,

"It was unclear last night how the names and numbers got posted, but they appeared just days after a techno-crook pleaded guilty to hacking his way into T-Mobile last fall, gaining access to millions of customers, including Paris Hilton's T-Mobile Sidekick account.

The hacker, Nicolas Jacobsen, 22, reportedly pleaded guilty to one count of breaking into a protected computer Tuesday.

Jacobsen and other computer crooks apparently entertained themselves by raiding the Sidekick files of celebrities."
