The security around the Oscars was tight as any large gathering of Hollywood’s elite is bound to be. In yet another example of people missing the bigger picture, hackers sat in the crowd with antennas hidden in their backpacks “bluesnarfing” precious data from every Hilton-wannabe’s cellphone:

It’s Sunday night at the Oscars, and the place is crawling with security people. A police helicopter circles overhead. Steven Spielberg, Paris Hilton and Prince get into limousines, but one can barely see them from behind all the barriers.

To John Hering, though, the place is like a sieve.

“Most people are worried about physical security,” he said. But electronic security is another matter — Hering’s, actually. “As every single celebrity, VIP and executive drives by us, we’re going to be able to scan their mobile phones.”
