Re: war dialers, are they a current threat?

[Dorian Moore <d () kleber net>]

And here's another one people are forgetting : increasingly more people
are using mobile phones to pick up email, access the net etc.... and a
lot of lusers don't traditionally think of these as 'modems' either.
I've received five unsolicited 'data' calls to my mobile in the last 3
months - all with called id withheld... it made me think about the
wardialer issue...  As far as I could see when my computer is hooked to
the mobile it has ATS0=1 as default (ie it automactially answers
incomming data calls)

Food for thought.

You really shouldn't listen to anything he says... as it may just be an opinion
