Hopefully you haven't noticed, but Paris Hilton has been making a few headlines.

The prison blues for the seemingly brainless millionaire is occupying the minds of millions of people, and is spilling over to the internet.

Even a tech news website such as vnunet.com is affected. Spammers and malware purveyors in the past have used the name of the promiscuous blonde to peddle their wares.

And users looking for information or adult photos of the hotel heiress are therefore finding our website in droves. "Paris Hilton Porn" ranks at the number 6 search query, (The top 3 this month so far are Porn, Limewire and iPhone). "Paris Hilton Nude" comes in 9th and a plain "Paris Hilton" ranks at number 18.

While we don't mind the extra traffic, I doubt that these people got what they were looking for in the security stories. Search engines still have a long way to go.
