I blogged a long time ago about how social engineers got Paris Hilton's address book from T-Mobile. Now we learn that Paris is allegedly got the password to Lindsey Lohan's Blackberry:

This cyber fued between the girls started last month, when Page Six ran an item that indicated the password to Lindsay's Blackberry had been leaked. Her rep told Page Six people were sending "disgusting and very mean messages that everyone thought were coming from Lindsay. They weren't. We now have her lawyers looking into it. Some people think Paris may have been involved because the wording of the messages sounds very familiar."
Of course, unlike the Sidekick, getting the password to a Blackberry does you no good unless you also have possession of the device. More than likely, they got hold of here email password.

Many of the people whose data were compromised were being investigated for possible fraud and identity theft, said Joel Winston, associate director of the FTC's Division of Privacy and Identity Theft Protection.
