Famed hacker, security consultant and author Kevin Mitnick shows how easy it is to hack most voice mail systems using simple, widely available Caller ID Spoofing.
Caller ID Spoofers allow you to change the caller ID of the telephone you are dialing from.
For example, if you decided to use the phrase “Gone Fishin” as your caller ID, the receiving party sees “Gone Fishin,” your spoofed caller ID, instead of your real telephone number when you call them.
Caller ID Spoofing is offered by a variety of suppliers, many of whom are off shore and out of jurisdiction for local law enforcement.
This article is a must read for anyone who uses a phone. You don’t need all the fancy software mention in the next post.
If you think your telephone messages are safe and secure you’re very wrong!
