Pirate Attack Leaves Phone System Plundered

A $17,000 phone bill!?! Ouch! I would have way more sympathy for this poor guy if he didn't leave all the default passwords for his phone system in place. The fact that it was a computer design business (they should be tech savvy) doesn't help his case either.


In mid-August, someone hacked into the phone system at Swimmer's Prospect Heights computer design business and began charging calls to Somalia. Within days, the phone pirates had racked up hundreds of calls to the African nation, for an eye-popping total of $17,381.94.
