Just found Xisto today via Google. I was looking for some reliable free hosting. I'm planning on setting up a WP blog. I considered hosting my blog on one of my computers but realized I didn't want to host something locally. Interests... well I'm always on the go so I'm into anything mobile. I'm usually online 24/7 either on my Powerbook, PC, or Sidekick II. Anything that has to do with tech is my area of expertise. Let me know if you need any help with anything.

Snl the sidekick device itself can't be hacked. I'm sure you're referring to the Hilton pics and phonebook that made it out on to the net.. It was discovered that the only reason the information from her device was acquired was because someone figured out her desktop interface password. I'm sure her password was something simple like "thathot". I wouldn't be surprised. Anyway, I try and keep my private pics on flickr and not in my DI. That way I won't worry if someone does manage to get into my DI.

Really? I just heard that the hacker got into the Verizon network and exposed all her phone numbers and such....

Ergh sorry I didn't have the page I was going to cite bookmarked. I know that the Tmo servers had been hacked at one time. Sidekick data is stored on Danger servers I believe. Anyway... hacked or not, it can happen to anyone. The lesson to be learned is to keep sensitive data out of your handset.

Welcome to the community! I don't think it's "unfortunate" that you found Xisto. This place is great! Hope you enjoy your time on the forums! Interesting to hear that you're setting up a WordPress blog because I'm doing that as well. I just installed WP 1.5.1, but I need some help in creating my own theme before I show it to everyone. If you could offer tips/code snippets, that would help me immensely.See you around!
