WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!! Do all of you realize what Mr. Borow just did!!! He used his privilege as an AT&T employee to access PRIVATE telephone records about a subscriber of AT&T and has now broadcast them to the entire world. And we all though that our privacy was in jeapordy by because of the goverment !!! Mr. Borow, I am going to make a copy of your article and send it to AT&T security. You sir, have violated a trust. The trust the was given to you when you were given access to those records. Those records are none of the public's business. You most surely have violated the terms of your employment and perhaps several laws. I have no sympathy for the telemarketing firm in question. Its just another scam, but if this individual will release private phone records in such a manner, then all of our privacy is in danger.
