"Hackers dialing up wave of voice-mail fraud."

Have you read this yet?

According to the article's sources, some of these calls are placed
so that drug dealers can make 'untraceable' phone calls, some are
placed on behalf of poor immigrants, and others are used to extort
money out of the system's owners.

This is page one, headline-making news?   Not!

To me, this looks more like a plant to soften-up the constituency so
the FBI bill has a better chance of passing both the House and Senate.
