Dozens of online services are selling lists of cell phone calls, raising security concerns among law enforcement and privacy experts."

I got the original fbi alert through work a few weeks ago.damn, I guess they'll be shutting down soon now.Seriously tho, this service is real sketchy. It involves, for some reason, the need for the service to call the target number and impersonate being a cell provider employee.

I remember there was a story about this last year. I looked into how it was done after that. If your interested in the details, and what you can do to try to prevent this, you can check out my blog posting at <a class="user" href="http://www.dailyphreak.com/?p=51">http://www.dailyphreak.com/?p=51</a>

This is amazing. Makes my job (well its really a hobbie that I get paid for) as a digital investigator so much easier. God bless the USA's complete lack of privacy protection.

oh, so now that the NSA aren't the only ones tappin' at our phone lines (or at least our call lists) we ought be concerned?remember that "patriot act" thing? all it ever did was put in letter and law exactly what had been going on for years before.this is privatization of what's been done by the government for just as long, I can assume.
