Paris Hilton website violated by Trojan-spreaders

Peter Thomas

Paris Hilton

i just don't get it. Where's the Paris Hilton angle in this story?

But surely... 

Paris Hilton

...in this case, the multi-talented Ms. Hilton is free of any responsibility for the attack. She may know less about computer security than I know about drunken orgies in European nightclubs, but there's no way she actually built and maintains her Web sites, no? Airhead or not, seems to me the person who's responsible here is whatever clod she's paying to do her Web site.

The T-Mobile and Facebook thing I can see; presumably she chose her own passwords, after all. But unless someone's going to say that she designed and coded the Web site herself--a prospect I find unlikely--this one ain't her fault.

Paris Hilton

Oh, she has a website? Wonders never cease... :-)

Trojans

I think they sell those out of machines in truck stop rest rooms for $0.50.

Paris because she already knows what a Trojan is good for.

Paris™® forecasts massive Q1 hotness drop 

Paris Hilton

Paris™® has warned that her "Hotness™®" will fall sharply below previous estimates due to collapsing demand from her users and sex-tape makers in the global recession.

In a December conference call with people who care, Paris™® projected a "Hotness™®" decline of about 32.1 per cent during Q1 of '09.

Better publicity through IT insecurity 

Paris Hilton

genuine problem or canny PR?

You decide!

(I couldn't find a PR icon...)

I'm embarrassed

Well, not really. Never been to her web site to have no idea what's ever been there. Can't really understand WHY anyone would go there, either. I guess I'm getting too old. I'm certainly not getting any better in my taste for the female of the species.

Titter ye not 

Paris Hilton

So those backdoor rumours are true...

Darren Lovell

You deserve what you get 

Paris Hilton

Anybody stupid enough to visit her site deserves to be infected with a trojan.

Paris because... ...do I really need a reason this time?!

Graham Jordan

Ok lets face it 

Anyone who goes to parishilton.com doesn't have a credit card. There pre teen's looking for hair and makeup tips.

Any self respecting adult looking for paris hilton will likely Google her along with "nude" as the search query.

Andus McCoatover

Spreaders??? You wonder? 

Joke

Should've thought that was fuc*king obvious...She has already reportedly admitted to having two "Spreaders".

Get out more. Or, in more....

Naughty 

Alert

Spreading a trojan is pretty naughty.

...but not as naughty as filming yourself shagging and then leaking it to the internet.

So, now we know where to get the trojan but where can we get the grunt-flick?

Yeah she loves the backdoor action....

Guy Randall

On her face of it...!

Like website, like owner!

IT angle> Her website got violated through sloppy security.

Paris angle> She didn't have a career until her security got sloppy on video! Only with two different men though! <cough>

<Dons coat while texting 17,000 taxi firms...

Andus McCoatover

Good memory, though 

Paris Hilton

Never forgets a face once sat on.

Or, should my title be "Good mammary...". Dunno.

Paris, natch.
