Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton Private MySpace Pics Exposed--Are You Next?

by Tim Stevens on June 3, 2008 at 09:22 AM

Thought you were hiding the naughty pictures of you and your friends on your private MySpace profile? Think again, social networker, or face the fate that just befell Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, whose MySpace page private pictures were hacked and posted on the Web for all to see (this is the second time their MySpace pages have been compromised, by the way).

How did this happen? Well, it looks like the site's new "data availability" enhancements that let you take your profile info with you to a variety of other social networking sites has some serious flaws -- namely, they're letting armchair hackers view any person's complete MySpace profile, regardless of its privacy settings.

The semi-hack is so easy that just about any novice computer user can pull it off by following some simple instructions. It relies on MySpace integration with Yahoo!'s widgets, which are little utilities that enable you to access Web content from your phone. One of them is a MySpace widget that, apparently, has no real notion of the concept of privacy or security. This hack has allowed intrepid surfers to expose pictures posted to the otherwise hidden profiles of exposure mavens Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

So, if you needed another reason not to post those incriminating pictures of you and your manager from your last corporate party, then let this latest hack be it. As for Lohan and Hilton, they're probably not too worried, since the exposed pictures are not of the particularly scandalous variety. [Source: ValleyWag, via ShinyShiny]

Like these women have nothing better to do with their spare time than network with their friends LOL. This is all BS for the kids and "fans" who are wannabes, to fantasize about their "rich" myspace celebutaunte friends. As if Paris cant call her friends to come and watch her tan, as if they want to see her friend "firecrotch" drinking...
