Sprint sued over alleged vice hacks
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-12-07

A Las Vegas adult services operator is making a federal case of his longstanding claim that cyber security weaknesses at the local phone company have permitted hackers to hijack calls intended for his stable of in-room entertainers -- reprising a complaint that state regulators rejected in 2002.

professional target
as a central office tech within the sprint network... i think i have a relative pov.

yes the greatest danger lies from within... whether it is "hacking" <- a grossly misused application of this word... or a misdirection or missed translation of his trunks and DIDs... either way the problem is solved by following the correct procedures...

the complaintant -Munoz- cant even get his litigation to the court house before the statue of limitations expires??? how on the ball is he? his own professional witness - Mitnik - failed to substantiate his case of organized call diversion and THERE IS NO EVIDENCE <- thats what empirical means...

Instead he has wasted the most vauable resource - time... (all formal complaints must be excuted to a cause)

the time of highly skilled SPRINT technicians familiar with forensics to chase a phantom... this time converts into the costs for your services and LD rates.

____

as to the rest of you complainers... SprintPCS and Sprint LTD (local tel.) are not one in the same... and Long distance borders are defined by YOUR government appointed Public Service Commission Representative and the lobbist... so sit down to a warm cup of stfujuice

dont get angry when you dont understand technology.. hire someone that does. pt
