On November 22nd, 2004 UNEASYsilence broke the story of how easy it is to gain access to ALMOST ANY voicemail box…

Seems now with the Paris Hilton ‘issue’ people have claimed that this is a new problem. So without further ado, here is the story we presented in NOVEMBER

Thanks to Camophone.com, now you can make calls anywhere to the United States and you are in control of the Caller ID that is sent to whoever you are calling. You can have the number of the White House switchboard (202-456-1414), how about Michael Eisner (Chairman of Disney – 818-560-5151) or just about anyone else you can think of.

I have tried the service, it is CHEAP, and works! Pros: they only take payments via PayPal. However there is one MAJOR problem: With this Caller-ID spoofing service, mimicking a persons number, you can gain access to a cellphone voicemail box that is set to read caller ID and grant access without a password. Virtually all major carriers are vulnerable to this flaw.

PS- You can try it on my number, 718-971-5245 :-P
