Re: Pen-Test Blackberry

[Mark Teicher <mht3 () earthlink net>]

I am not one to burst people's bubbles and their curiousity if it could be done, but what is the legality of 
pen-testing Blackberry and the cellular provider.  IMHO, this would be a big LEGAL issue if let's say the pen-testing 
led to access to Cingular, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.  T-Mobile does not prefer such publicity as we have observed, and 
will go out of their way to reduce one's assets to not much more than .02..
