Gizmodo published an article yesterday that says that a mobile security firm has reverse engineered the exploit used to access the T-Mobile voice mailboxes of several celebrities. A security consultant demonstrated this to Joel Johnson by gaining unauthorized access to Joel’s voice mail while he waited.
This article further illustrates the depth of the personal information security problems at T-Mobile USA. This company really needs to step up now, tell its customers what the extent of the security problems are, explain what they are doing to secure their systems, and probably most importantly, offer advise on how to make personal information as secure as possible.
