Paris Hilton, the millionaire socialite heiress has been targeted. Her website ParisHilton.com has been targeted by cyber thieves. The hackers tried to steal documents and personal information of her fans through her website. The hackers allegedly infected her website www.ParisHilton.com with viruses(reportedly Trojans).

The details suggest that an iFrame was embedded into Hilton’s Web site. The iFrame was hidden in a malicious manner. The visitors of the site were asked to follow this iFrame which refers to another site that hosts the malware and displays a pop-up window prompting visitors to “update” their system. This updating meant an “OK” or “Cancel” from the user. But by clicking on any of these their computers would get infected.

The hackers then had an open source to thousands of information. The virus has already hit thousands of her fans and spread to up to 15,000 other websites, according to reports.
