I don’t think the reporters are necessarily to blame for not keeping up with technology – who can? do we really nead all this stuff… most of it I’ve never even heard of, let alone understand or even have ANY use for!

An article in today’s NYTimes, Some Sympathy for Paris Hilton says it all, “the message is clear: once privacy is gone, there’s no snatching it back. And in cyberspace, everyone is naked.”

I read something a little while ago about how most people who had wireless enabled (bluetooth included) PDA’s and cellphones were entirely unaware, allowing anyone with an interest and the wherewithal could get at most of that data just by being within range. So PDA’s may not require internet access to not be secure.

I must say I’m absolutely SHOCKED Paris Hilton could be one of those people.

I was a little worried by the headline on ctv.ca, so I read the article (I usually take care to avoid direct exposure to Hilton and her ilk). Seems her phone was more of a computer with a phone function, and its OS was not patched. However, it is not clear that this is where the hackers got the info. Doesnt seem like “normal” cell phones are at risk just yet.

Paparazzis can now work from home! No need to chase celebrities anymore, they just have
to hack their cellphones and get all their camera shots.
