Tunrs out, this was not an example of actual cellphone hacking (which is

engineering"--Hilton's famous dog's name was used to recover her password
over the Web.

Moral of the story: Don't keep personal info. on the Web unless properly
secured, and don't tell people your pet's name. {Michelle and Jonathan}
