How the voicemail at T-Mobile was hacked

While I generally try to stick to spam, much of how you get spam in life is due to your personal information and contact data being too easily spread to those who will then use it for nefarious deeds. Hence why I tend to post computer/mobile security issues as well.

In that vein, Gizmodo has what looks to be an exclusive in the T-Mobile Paris Hilton voicemail hack. (I really do want to stop writing "Paris Hilton", but it is getting comically hard not to)

The Gizmodo post doesn't show you how to do it, but instead tells you how to avoid it, or at least minimize what damage could come from it.

Everyone gives Paris Hilton a hard time for being a bimbo, but if it turns out she is shorting T-Mobile, this could turn into the stock scandal of our short century so far. If you too are up for it, shorting T-Mobile now still probably isn't that bad an idea.
