Mysteries of the Las Vegas Telecom System

Posted by michael on from the your-call-cannot-be-completed-as-dialed dept.

Reverend Raven writes "This is from Security Focus and deals with how some people believe a group of uber-hackers controls the Vegas telecom system. Interesting read, indeed." A follow-up to this old story. The case seems to be still winding its way through the bureaucracy.

  1. no unauthorised call forwarding.. by martin · · Score: 4, Insightful
    The gaunt and grizzled Hill is a former NYPD captain, and he testifies like a pro, giving short quick answers and volunteering little. "I remember investigating many cases of this nature," Hill says. "We would generally check to see that all the programming on the complainant's line was in order... We determined in every case that there was no unauthorized call-forwarding."

    so what was the 'authorised' call forwarding then?

    Anyway as a previous poster says..

    Sounds like the hotel's PABX's where hacked not Sprint's as it only effects calls from hotels not cell or other land lines..
