[Scan-DC] Telephone security breach

[Steve Uhrig]

Hi all,

Tomorrow evening, Thursday May16th, at 11PM on Baltimore TV channel 
11 (WBAL) there will be a taped segment airing where presumably a 
maintenance man accessed dozens of residential telephone lines in an 
apartment complex in Owings Mills, and ran up thousands of dollars in 
calls to 900 number psychic hotlines.

The calls were charged to the various residents.

I demonstrated, live for tape, how this was done. Nothing more than a 
penknife and a telephone needed.

Interesting segment on security, or lack of, in telephone service at 
apartments.

Anyone interested is invited to watch it. Shouldn't be more than 3 
minutes or so.

Steve
