Cell phone voicemail easily hacked
They got Paris Hilton's contacts, and could get yours, too
The attack is simple, according to Bob Egan of MobileCompetency.com, who
wrote the report. Most cell phone providers offer a service called "skip
passcode," which allows mobile subscribers to enter their cell phone
voicemail and select other administrative options without entering a numeric
password. Callers are sometimes told the service is safe, because cell phone
providers ensure the call is initiated from the handset owned by the
consumer -- making the password unnecessary.
But Eagan discovered that services use caller ID to authenticate the cell
phone, and months ago, hackers learned how to spoof, or "trick" the caller
ID system. Using such a service, a hacker can dial the mobile account
holder's telephone system and immediately access their voice mail and other
services.

>could get yours, too
But who in the world would *care* about my contacts?

Somebody said he didnt "cared" . Yeah, you're not "famous" like Paris
here ...and you said you don't care if someone would 'steal' your
contacts...no, not the lens contacts. And what if...I will probably get
anxious from this...i got a lot of secrets numbers .
