the tale of the T-Mobile hacker

This is a great story in Security Focus about how a hacker got into T-Mobile's systems and was eventually apprehended by the Secret Service.

It reminds me of one time i was working at [insert carrier here] and one of the employees said to me, "hey you want to see [insert atlanta db whose nickname rhymes with Freon]'s phone bill? i got it right here on the screen." you know, we had to test the billing system with real data.
