It was bound to happen sometime.

Paris Hilton caught a virus.

Quiet your dirty minds, though. The heiress' website was hacked recently, exposing fans to a variety of dangerous viruses…computer viruses.

Scott says celebrity sites are common targets for cybercriminals because of the high traffic on their sites.
