Celebrity data breach! Lindsay and Paris's private MySpace profiles compromised

Posted by Caitlin on June 20th, 2008

A glitch in the program Yahoo uses to make MySpace content accessible on cell phones caused pictures from Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan's private MySpace profiles to become public. (MySpace has disabled the flawed software until the error can be fixed.) It's too bad they hadn't read our MySpace Identity Theft Protection Guide. This should serve as a reminder that if you'd like something to remain private, you probably shouldn't post it on the Internet! Even when you think that access to your personal information is safely restricted, data breaches, glitches, and hackers will always be a risk. So if you are concerned about preventing identity theft, take a look at our reviews and comparisons. And if you are interested in preventing your online security from being compromised in other ways, consider internet security software.
