NOTW "Hacking" method for phones is nothing to do with this. Voicemail
hacking in the UK involves calling the victim, hammering the # button while
the phone rings, and being redirected to their voicemail box. Then you just
press 0000 and # and DONE! (sometimes they have a password, but a 4 digit
pass is 10,000 combinations. Most people use easy to remember ones so a
simple bit of SE and some simple "looking at the phone keypad" and BOOM!
done!)

As kids we used to do this to each other and change each others voicemail
greetings for fun... Nothing has changed in the UK and Eire since. IN fact,
I will post agian in an hour to confirm - I will break into my own
voicemails and check.

No surpise... theyre ext4 partitions are completely vulnerable.. try tell
an anddroid user that, tho. Spender 9grsecurity.net0 has exposed the ext4
bug, wich allows remote user addition to, whatever kernel, i assume runs the
ext4 right... with some small changes ofc to code... so, it is strange they
dont patch, i myself use 1.6 , but, wow this rally blows things for many
users.. interesting stuff, and maybe is good thing i use the old 1.6 api..
hehe. seems newer the stuff, more the chances of malicious activity.. i
guess NOTW m anagement mustve known this one forsure.
thx for that, insightful , and,reminds me more that, a phone nowdays is
almost as dangerous as a laptop in your hand.
cheers,
