Security Flaw: Hear anyones Cingular voice mail using jajah

jajah.com — We found it works for cingular phones, don't know of others. All you need to do is :go to jajah.com and place the cingular phone as the caller, i.e. at step 1.place any phone number you want to receive that caller's voice mail at step 2 and click call. If the cingular caller does NOT pick up the phone, you get his/her voice mail at yours.

  • AuBrn405, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Yeah i think it should be submitted someplace. I mean is there a major technical difficulty in plugging this? I am sure the networks themselves may have noted this flaw by now.

    We tried out T-mobile in USA, and T-Mobile phones don't seem to have this problem. You can at most leave a voicemail on the caller's phone, which is accepted behaviour.

    The two voicemails connecting is neat... havne't tried that out as yet...

    totally.. never thought of the sex chat thing and the charges due to it... !!! .. i don't know about ireland, but cingular also has roll over minutes, so i wonder if you haven't used your minutes and the update of that is a lazy update ..as in not immediate...will it allow such high priced calls (eg sex chat) to go like un-noticed or unaccounted or something?
  • B0bSalco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Not just Cingular, also Vodafone in Ireland I can confirm (and probably the rest of the Irish networks, O2 and Meteor)

    I noticed this a couple of days ago and put it on slashdot

    You can register anyone else's phone and:
    1. Make them initiate a call with any other phone (even a sex chat)
    **No you don't need to give any identifying details and yes the person will be charged.
    2. If that person's phone is not on when you make them initiate a call with you get password-free access to their voicemail.
    3. It will even connect two voicemails if both phones are switched off.

    These people should not have been given such god-like access to our phone systems.

    I definitely need to submit this to a news channel or something.
