According to news, Hollywood actress Salma Hayek has fall victim to hackers, who have out of order into her email account and free images of her private infrastructure.
The actress, remember equally well for her Oscar-nominated role in the biopic of Frida Kahlo as her erotic snake-dancing presentation in “From Dusk Till Dawn”, had her Mobile Me account hacked after hackers rearrange her account password by properly entering her date or birth and guess her secret question (allegedly the name of her most famous film role).
As a result, the world knows particulars of what iPhone applications Salma Hayek has download from the Apple iTunes Store, when she has set to have her Japanese face massage, and that her billionaire French husband François-Henri Pinault pays her bills.
Of course, it’s value remembering that Salma Hayek is the injured party of a crime.
Maybe she did decide to defend her online email account with weak security that anybody with right of entry to Wikipedia could almost certainly bypass, but breaking into her Mobile Me account is still an offence.
The community should take this as a caution to be very careful about what “secret answers” they choose in case they need to ever reset their passwords. Too many people when they are asked “What was your mother’s maiden name?” or “Tell us the name of your favorite pet” choose to reply honestly with information that is a matter of public record, or can be found out by visiting their Face book profile.
My recommendation is if you’re asked to tell website what your mother’s name is, answer something unforgettable that no-one else will be able to guess, like “Xena Warrior Princess” or “Artichoke Sandwich”.
By the way, Salma Hayek isn’t the first shape in the public eye to have her email hacked. Watch this video: “Paris Hilton & Sarah Palin – what’s the connection?”.
