Internet rogue apparently hacked into T-Mobile's heavily used Web site to access Paris Hilton's cellphone data, enabling the thief to splash the heiress's racy phone snaps, celebrity numbers and notes-to-self across cyberspace, experts said yesterday.
The 'Net stealer likely logged on to the site and either garnered Hilton's password or bypassed that security feature altogether to gain access to data from her Sidekick II personal digital-assistance device, they said.
"I think the hacker just decided to pick her as a test case," said Kevin Poulsen, news editor of SecurityFocus, an online site specializing in computer security and technology.
Hilton was already among a handful of celebrities suspected of having had their T-Mobile accounts hacked into by 22-year-old computer whiz Nick Jacobsen last year.
Jacobsen, who is not a suspect in the current hackings, "cracked the database that stored passwords and got those he was interested in and logged on. The very same thing could have happened here," Poulsen said.

What's the difference between Paris Hilton and a $2.00 whore? Paris has much more money.
The cause of this could be as simple as a password guess. She could have used her dog's name as a password, or something silly like that.
Let face it how many men have spent a night in the Hilton.
More graphic than I expected.
What a skank.
Who freaking cares?
Bump for later (i.e., not at work!).
Well, machines are someone's friends. I'm just not sure Paris Hilton is too fond of them right about now.
Definately worth reading the full story. Pretty funny stuff!
