Let me first say I DO NOT work for the company in question. . .

One of the many sources the network security industry looks at:

POTS can (and is) just as vulnerable.

ANY service keep some kind of customer information. This threat is NOT limited to mobile phone service.

POTS isn't generally as intertwined with email and voice mail and stuff like that though.

But I don't get it -- why would the Secret Service be putting any of their important information in the hands of T-Mobile?

It was part of what another agent had been working on . . . and the information was originally thought safe until it was found that it was his account that was being used to instigate the breach.

There are reasons the SS and FBI use mobile communications and are loosely-connected with the major companies. I think you can guess as to a few of those reasons. . . .

Oh crap! I just switched over to T-mobile. At least after this they should be a whole lot more secure. Hopefuly.
