That struck me as odd do not US phone companies secure their sensitive customers information. When I worked at BT they took this very seriously and say looking up the queens unlisted telephone number you would get into serious trouble.
For some systems team leaders who needed wide access to data had to pass security clearing at the TS / DV level I was told.
- netsharc 9y agoHah, the queen has an unlisted phone? Well I guess she has a private landline... Reading your comment makes me imagine HM The Queen in the royal carriage, being bored at the slow pace, staring at her smartphone, scrolling through Instagram.

- walshemj 9y agoSo if your waiting to be called to speak
- walshemj 9y agoYep there was a big scandal in Scotland when a some what sketchy journalist got a job in a call centre and did that. The irony was the press office was on the floor above and didn't notice.
- carterehsmith 9y agoLol, how did that go? I am thinking... something along these lines: Telemarketer: When you sign up with ShitWare, our Platinum partner, you get a free BigMac (tm) with a crumpet and a small drink! This exciting promotion is only available to our subscribers! Limited time offer. Quantities are limited. Only in participating restaurants. Some conditions apply. Taxes (incl. VAT) not included. Queen: Goodness gracious, did you just say free BigMac (tm) and crumpets? That is, like, fucking amazing! OK I clicked on that link, it says "Your Windows is infected! Click here to clean!" Is that OK? Btw where is my food. Telemarketer: It is, indeed, perfectly OK! Just click on where it says "I Agree". BTW it is one crumpet (not "crumpets") or a hashbrown, subject to availability. This exciting, time-limited offer is --- Queen: Yeah whatever dude, just send the food in. Queen: This is good. Most good.

- carterehsmith 9y agoInteresting. I wonder, what was the procedure when some random telemarketer dialed one of those Queen's unlisted numbers? Or, whatever unlisted numbers. Is that something that BT would intercept?
