Audio: Helpful Hacker Gives a Security Lesson to Paris Hilton
In this week's Phreaky Phriday audio track, socialite and frequent hacker target Paris Hilton gets an earnest lesson in telephone security from 24-year-old white hat phone phreak Lucky225, in August, 2006.
Lucky: You got something to write with?
Paris: Ummm, no, 'cause I'm lying on a table.
Lucky: Oh.
Lucky goes on to school Hilton on the ins-and-outs of securing her voice mail and her phone account. You'll recall that Hilton's Sidekick was hacked in 2004 by then-20-year-old Nicolas Jacobson, who snatched up private photos of the celeb using an unpatched hole in T-Mobile's network. Then another hacker staged his own raid on her phone, and released Hilton's address book on the internet.
Lucky: As long as you got into your voice mail and you set it so that it requires a password, nobody will be able to break into your voice mail.
Hilton: Has anybody broken into my Blackberry yet, like the e-mail journal?
Lucky: Not that I'm aware of
Hilton: How do you know everything?
Lucky: I've been in the phone hacking scene for quite a long time ... In fact, I had left you a voice mail back in September of 2004, and you actually took down my phone number, but I don't think you had actually called me back, about how T-Mobile was insecure. And, like, I think a couple days later was when somebody hacked your shit.
Hilton: I know. It happened on my birthday.
Lucky: It happened on your birthday?
Hilton: Yeah, that's so sad. … People are mean.
Lucky: I know. They are. But other than that, you're going to want to call Cingular and add a password to this account, because I know that you don't have a password on this account right now.
Hilton: What do you-- a password, like how?
Lucky: Call 866-CINGULAR or call 6-1-1 from your phone.
Hilton: Uh huh.
Lucky: And tell them that you want to add a password to the account for customer service. 'Cause if you don't have a password on your account for customer service, anyone can call Cingular and just break into your account
Hilton: And do what? … And see all my shit?

She scares me. She comes across as ditzy and dumb, but she could be a brilliant mastermind. She hides it all under a childlike persona, but underneath it all she's got inhuman genious intelligence. Kinda like GDubs. He pretends to be kinda out of it, "I believe that humans and fish can coexist," but he's really a genious mastermind. Clever. Hiding behind the childlike facade.
"...Hilton: And do what? … And see all my sh*t?"
Umm did Paris already show the whole world her sh*t in her "home" videos? What more does she have left to show?
Caller ID spoof can be a downright hilarious thing...
The media whore strikes again.....
iZealot "...underneath it all she's got inhuman genious intelligence..."
Now that is funny! She's a "genious" alright.
iZealot, while she might be a "genious" you, obviously, are not.
LOL – Paris Hilton is such a retard. Betty Ford really needs to set up an inpatient care facility for people this stupid.
She's a self made serial entrepreneur, pop star, movie star and author. She's not trying to be the best at anything except being famous. Her businesses are monetizing all that inane fame.
It's pretty obvious she's a real genius.
Sorry but someone successful in business doesn't mean they are a genius :) Thats a title that gets tossed around a little too easily these days.
Self made my patuckus. No one would have the slightest idea who she was if she didn't have daddy and granddaddy's money and name behind her.
"Hold on, this pen doesn't work... How do you open it?"
Yeah, she's a genius alright.
It doesn't take any kind of intelligence to commodify yourself when you're born into wealth and power, especially if you're an attractive (although that's debatable) female. It just comes with the territory.

She does have a point. People are mean. She's not my favorite person in the world, either, but she does have a certain charisma. I think her renowned bitchiness is a defensive mechanism honed by years and years of attacks by really mean-spirited people like we're seeing here in these comments. I'll bet that she's really nice if you got to know her, and if you aren't trying to use her like everyone else she comes into contact with.
yeah and she's not bitchy either, she just missed out on a normal childhood. Pam Anderson is a friend of mine and she's doing ok for a 40 year old single mom
Did we take a time warp back to 2004? This is old news and lucky has never done anything original in his life anyway. He didn't even do this! Interview the Nicolas Jacobson guy instead. lucky is just a noob who piggybacks on other people work.
@luckyhasdonenothingoriginal:
you really did not get the point of this post, or READ IT.

This a recording from 2006, on Paris Hilton's CINGULAR cellphone, not the 2004 T-mobile hack, and was regarding voicemail hacking, schooling Paris how to secure her voicemail and cingular account before another nicolas comes along and pwns her new cell.
Why is this woman news? Haven't you people got anything better to do than bitch about an inconsequential airhead?
Jeez, and people are starving out there.
luckyhasdonenothingoriginal you're an absolute retard seriously. read the goddamn post.
So was lucky hoping to get lucky?(or herpes?)
...or was it "be kind to the worst among us" day?
"She's a self made serial entrepreneur, pop star, movie star and author. She's not trying to be the best at anything except being famous. Her businesses are monetizing all that inane fame.

Having billionaires for grandparents/parents does NOT make you a genius.
Being able to bankroll your own album and related advertisements doesnt make you a genius.
Rolling over your established party scene whore/jetset lifestle that gets followed and picked apart by thousands (tens? millions?) of ignorant sycophants who think that because you're mentioned in the gossip column of a magazine?.....
Having a sloppy (and not even in a good way) 'sex tape' released that just piggybacks off the 'popularity' of said sycophant-fueled lifeless shells?....
(notable mention here for her The Hottie And The Nottie, shooting her "stardom" into the stratosphere with 111 screens reporting an average $76 in ticket sales, per google search for "Paris Hilton move bomb".....)
And author.. let's be real here, kid. You're assuming she's got the lights on here to write anything on her own other than her signature.
Is it wrong of me to think that she doesn't deserve any help or tips ? She has more money than many small countries and she seems to not care one bit for learning a damned thing. This is just what I get from the videos I've seen of her as well as comments made by people who've met her in person but WOW, what a vacuous waste of flesh and money !
How hard would it be for her to pay some tech person to secure her electronics for her. It would take all of one day (one hour probably) and even if she paid him $5,000 (way too much) she wouldn't miss it for a second.
IF she seemed to care more about learning ANYTHING then maybe I could care about her a tiny bit... But I don't .
I've met hundreds of women as dumb as Hilton. They are a dime a dozen.That's,like, 8 cents for ten of them.
I hope Paris can arrange for that nice young man to enjoy a threesome or a foursome or something nice like that. It's so admirable for him to be helping a developmentally disabled person.
Most people that publish this crap don't care that she is a real person and has real human being feelings.
She does her own individual thing and that makes her happy.
Are you even doing the type of things that make you happy or, are you afraid someone would talk about you? Be happy! and happy that we do have some real Americans that we can laugh about. They love it and so do we.
how did nobody comment on what she said "No, I'm lying on a table" WTF hahaha
wow DUMB and so are the 2 guys who called her.
