Err, is anyone else a little shocked that our good friend Randy accessed someone's long distance phone records and aired them out in the public view? The fact that the company that made the calls is most likely sleazy is immeterial, I would think. The record of their phone calls is private, and IMHO Randy had no legitimate reason to go snooping through them, and certainly should not have published this information. Doesn't AT&T have rules about disclosing call information to third parties -- and if they don't, shouldn't they? Robert J. Woodhead, Biar Games / AnimEigo, Incs. trebor@foretune.co.jp [Moderator's Note: Well thus far, its just been you two guys who have mentioned this. Regarding Mr. Palmer's suggestion that he will send a copy of the original message to AT&T Security, my suggestion would be to save yourself the phone call (and the fax paper on the other end). There are several security people from various telcos and LD companies reading the Digest; I'm sure the original message has made the rounds by now. We'll see what others think in Monday's issues of the Digest. I'll try to print a representative sample, including a rebuttal from Randy Borow if he chooses to send one. Depending on the volume of stuff received, the thread will be forwarded to telecom-priv after a day or two if necessary. PAT]
