Paris dropped after hacking Lohan's mailbox


SpoofCard.com, a company that provides the privacy-inclined with fake caller ID numbers and voicemail service, announced Tuesday that it had dropped about 50 people--including Paris Hilton--from its client roster after it was discovered that the mailboxes of Lindsay Lohan and other "well known celebrities" had been hacked.

Which, in light of tabloid reports that the two are feuding (over men, party circuit status--whatever), led to the idea that Hilton was the one who had messed with Lohan's account.

When questioned about it by TMZ.com, SpoofCard attorney Mark Del Bianco stated that "Paris was entering unauthorized mailboxes," but when it came to Lohan, "a number of the 50 persons [whose service was canceled] were making unauthorized entrances to Miss Lohan's voicemail."

Meanwhile, Hilton's rep, Elliot Mintz, told E! Online that what Del Bianco said with regard to his client "just didn't happen" and, at this point, he can't confirm whether the "Stars Are Blind" singer--who has been in Japan promoting her new album, Paris--is aware that she has a SpoofCard.com account at all.

SpoofCard did not make a direct connection between Hilton's alleged misdialing and Lohan's invaded privacy, but just confirmed that Hilton's service had been axed and Lohan's mailbox messed with. The company said it came across the telephonic breaking-and-entering while reviewing customer records for evidence of fraud or other wrongdoing and has since added software controls to prevent further tampering.
