Forgotten Password Link Continued - Paris Hilton
IT Chapters February 23rd, 2005Now my blog will get some traffic - Look at the title of this post!

And what happens? Paris Hilton’s T-Mobile account gets broken into because the standard T-Mobile “Forgotten Password” secret question is: What is your pet’s name. And finding out Paris Hilton’s pet’s name is easy. She once offered a $5,000 reward when it went missing.
O’Reilly is mentioning this here. There is even a screenshot of the inbox available here. Well done T-Mobile!
