Phone Records Easily Purchased By Anyone

Good find Charlyee, I saw this yesterday and it is really pretty scarey. So when we see movies like "The Net", with Sandra Bullock, they are not at all far-fetched. I know that one thing the Bush Administration HAS done is to provision more money to combat things like this. About 5-7 years ago, a brand new division of the FBI, that handles Cyber types stuff, began to grow like wild-fire. I believe there is a govt. agency in England called "Eschelon", that EVERYBODY denies even exists, that does nothing but LISTEN.....to all communications all over the world. They are trained to listen for terrorist key words, like bomb and attack. They will probably even pick this communique up because they do e-mail too. There is not enough security in this industry to make people feel at ease. And when we do provide things like wiretaps and electronic interception of suspected enemies phones......The Freaking Moral Majority cires about the constitution and our rights. Explain that to over 3,000 peoples ghosts on Wall St in NYC--:crying: :crying: :nono:

Sorry, I drifted......usually not a BIG ONE TO..........:rant: :rant:

 

i heard on tv yesterday that, cingular has filled 2 restraining orders over this.

 

I also heard this on TV yesterday- it was all over the news.
Scary to know that your carriers' security on your account can be bypassed so easily for those people to get your information from them.

 

Oh boy another security breach to throw in the fire.

Its enough to make you wonder.

 

I had seen something like that a while back. It seems that the easiest way they get in is by registering for OLAM on yor account. I can pick through your trash and find an old cell phone bill to get your account number. With that # and a little personal info I can register for OLAM and get all the cell phone info I want on you. If you want to make it harder on them register for your OLAM, even if you don't use it, and make your password something someone else wouldn't guess.

Please translate OLAM into English please.

 

OLAM = OnLine Account Management. It is where you can look at your bill online through your provider's website.

I too heard this on my local news yesterday. And yes, that is scary that people can track all of your calls.
