Celebrity Hacking - Page 2

According to a Secret Service affidavit filed in the case, Jacobsen came to the agency's attention in March of last year when he offered to provide T-Mobile customers' personal information to identity thieves through an Internet bulletin board. Jacobsen had access to some customers' Social Security numbers and dates of birth, voicemail PINs, and the passwords providing users with web access to their T-Mobile email accounts. He did not have access to credit card numbers. The company, based in Bellevue, Washington, boasts 16.3 million U.S. customers.
...........
A friend of Jacobsen's in the hacker community, William Genovese, confirmed that account, and said Jacobsen gave him copies of digital photos that celebrities had snapped with their cell phone cameras. Last month Genovese provided SecurityFocus with an address on his website featuring what appears to be grainy candid shots of Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Nicole Richie, and Paris Hilton. He said Wednesday that he's since removed the photos at Jacobsen's request

It is likely Paris' phone was part of this break-in. Early phone hackers, or phreakers, mostly limited themselves to free phone calls. In today's world, identity theft is a bigger prize

More food for the fanatics. Nice phone, though.

    Somehow I think that site is a ripoff with old, recycled pics - just a shill for eyeballs after the hacking - no offence, cyberguy. Nice pics, though

    Fred Durst's been added to the list of celebrity victims: From Drudge,


    The hacker who splashed the contents of Paris Hilton's T-MOBILE Sidekick has struck again, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

    This time the self-described 'T-MOBILE TERRORIST' has turned even more vicious -- by unleashing a 3-minute hardcore sex videophone capture of Limp Bizkit rocker Fred Durst.

    The hardcore video -- with audio -- shows Durst engaging in unprotected sex with a female. The graphic ''T-MOBILE TERRORIST' is seen throughout the clip.

    A site hosting the hack reads: 'I'M SORRY, U SELLOUT :)'

    "The previous information was obtained using social engineering tactics."

    Law enforcement officials believe the video comes from the same source who presented Paris's Sidekick diary
