Hilton's phone hacked
Hacked ... Paris Hilton.
The entire contents of Paris Hilton's mobile phone have appeared on the internet.
Hackers posted a copy of the hotel heiress's mobile telephone address book on a website, listing the numbers and email addresses of about 500 acquaintances including Eminem and Christina Aguilera.
It is not known how the information was obtained, but Hilton's was reportedly one of many celebrity phones compromised in an attack on T-Mobile's network that accessed numbers from about 400 of the company's customers.
Last week Nicholas Jacobsen, 22, a California-based hacker, pleaded guilty to one charge of accessing a protected computer and causing reckless damage.
He is scheduled to be sentenced in May and faces a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison.
The Hilton phonebook was posted on a website yesterday but is no longer accessible.
It was in the public domain long enough to cause significant frustration for many of her associates.
Eminem's phone number has reportedly since been changed. The voice mailbox of Fred Durst, front man of Limp Bizkit, was full and tennis star Anna Kournikova's number was said to be constantly engaged.
Victoria Gotti, reality television star and daughter of crime boss John Gotti, said she received 100 calls in two hours as word of the hacked address book spread.
"I didn't want to take the phones off the hook because my oldest son was out on a date," she told the New York Daily News.
"This went on all night. Finally, at 5.30am, I took them off the hook. This morning, I put them back on and they started ringing immediately. It's driving me insane."
Hilton is no stranger to the internet. Her home sex video, dubbed One Night in Paris, was reportedly sold for $4.6 million and widely distributed online.
