Partly her fault for poor security practices
Cause and affect Ms.Hilton paid the price for not following basic security like choosing a decent mixed case password she picked the name of her dog tinkerbell which is the first name the Hacker would take a shot and she's not alone many people pick poor passwords sports teams, their coffee mug name?! (very lame choice) their girlfriends name, favorite tv shows, favorite snack come on LOL.

So remember Zdneters choose decent passwords and be careful with your personal info happy
