Caller ID Spoofing for the Masses

Posted by michael on from the e.t.-phone-home dept.

lolly72 writes "SecurityFocus has a story on a new U.S. website offering a caller I.D. falsification service. It's called Camophone. It's being advertised in Google ads that appear with search results for Star38.com, which was the the last service to try and make money off caller I.D. hacking. But unlike Star38.com, Camophone isn't limited to collection agencies and private investigators, and it doesn't cost $125 to sign up. Anyone with a PayPal account can use it, and at five cents a minute, probably will. Who do you want to fake out today?"

    It cost five bucks, so I figured I'd give it a spin. It'd be good to use to play pranks on friends and family.

    Translation: you have no life worth living.

    Try some pranks in my family. You'll be found floating in a river, if they find you at all.
