Famous - But Not Very Smart

This story is convincing proof that just because someone is famous (or at least semi-famous) doesn't mean they're very smart. Either that, or they think any kind of publicity is good publicity. CBS is reporting that at least 50 female celebrities have had their cell phones or computers hacked, and the hackers stole nude or compromising pictures of them.

Among those who were victims of the hacking are Scarlett Johansson, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Alba, Vanessa Hudgens, and Christina Aguilera. Making matters even worse, this is the second time this has happened to some of them (Hudgens in 2007 and Cyrus in 2008).

I have to wonder just what the hell these women were thinking. Doesn't even a 9 or 10 year-old know that cell phones and computers are not safe places to store intimate or secret material. Didn't everyone just see what happened to U.S. government secrets, which were posted on WikiLeaks? If the government can be exposed, how much easier is it going to be to get stuff from a person's computer or cell phone?

If you don't want compromising pictures of yourself spread all over the internet, then keep them off your cell phone and/or computer. Isn't that just common sense these days -- even for those who aren't celebrities?
