Wasn't the Sidekick the phone in the Paris Hilton hack? Man, that was a long time ago.
I kept my job.
It turned out that the reason that Paris Hilton and so many celebrities got hacked was:
* the password to her cloud storage account was the name of her dog
* once the hackers had access to her cloud storage, they could use that to get authentic phone numbers for half of the entertainment industry, because Paris Hilton was so well-connected socially.
AFAIK, nobody ever managed to get access to the servers illegitimately. The demise of the service was a failed back up of the Hitachi SAN.
Honestly, unless it was said clearly in jest as their ass was in the same boat, that is such an extremely incompetent management communication.
