Do You Put Phone Numbers On Your Phone?
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "THOUGHT" @ 08:00 PM
I know, that sounds like the stupidest question in the world to me, but check out these quotes on the Paris Hilton phone hack.
"The online Drudge Report, which revealed the phone invasion, said another star, who declined to give his name, was beyond upset. "I gave her my number after we met in Miami, I did not know she kept it on her cellphone," he reportedly raged."
"Ms Hilton, who has her own popular reality show with Nicole Richie, called The Simple Life, may be faulted for putting the numbers into her phone. But no one is blaming her for the hacking."
I am confused. Where are you supposed to put the phone numbers? Now, should she have password protected the device? Sure. However, there is no indication that she didn't. It seems what was hacked was T-Mobile's site, which seems to have some sort of online sync feature with the Sidekick, though it may run through a desktop component. I could do the same with Yahoo and Outlook. I have no idea the specifics of this hack, and that isn't my point. My point is, why are people seemingly outraged that she actually stored numbers on her mobile phone? :confused totally:
