As the world attempts to reach Lindsay Lohan - thanks to the Paris Hilton T-Mobile sidekick hacking, one question keeps popping up in the few emails I received today, ' Am I at risk ?' chances are no one wants to see what is on your t-mobile sidekick, so even if you were hacked no one would care. A CBS report this AM said that cellphones can be hacked just easily as computers can, that everyone is vulnerable. New York Post gets all New York Times and tackles this matter. Findings - even though the hacker was no novice that doesn't mean your Sidekicks, Palm Pilots and Blackberrys are safe. The hacker probably gained access to Paris Hilton's Sidekick II phone and apparently racy photos through T-Mobile's Web site.

"I think it's worth asking the company that provides you with service what kind of security they're protecting your information with," said Kevin Poulsen, news editor at SecurityFocus, an online technology site.

"In the case of Sidekick, they store files on a server with the company . . . As we've seen, people can get in."

Richard Lainhart, an IT director from Rockland County, also warned owners of personal digital-assistance devices such as Sidekicks that there is now software that can be relatively easily downloaded from the 'Net to siphon off information from PDAs from within about 30 feet.

Many PDA users don't activate security measures they should, or use a pass word to protect their com munication, Lainhart said.
