I've not read into the technicalities of it, but it seems extraordinary that all four mobile operators would have voicemail that is wide open. Maybe it wasn't all of them? Nothing's been said about that. And I think that the Data Protection Act might make losing personal data an offence of strict liability, that is to say one doesn't need to prove any negligenct. The fact that the data was lost is enough.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoYou mean that when you open an account, your voicemail box originally does not have a PIN number at all?
- seabee 15y agoIt comes set with a default number. Given they have to send you personalized details anyway (phone number etc.) how hard would it have been to randomize it like banks do? They should take some of the blame for it. But nobody seems to care.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoOh, it's the same for everyone? Miserable.
