- johnvanommen 9mo agoYep. My boss came over to me that morning, asked if I'd seen the news, and basically said that if it turned out that I built the servers wrong, it would be firing time. 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.
