There's two things here that could have helped. 1. Database linkage of billing address to emergency address. Had that changed, it would or should raise a flag to investigate. 2. GeoIP tracking has been around for a long time. The registrar could again have a flag to pick up such....granted if someone moves two blocks, not likely this would have helped. In this case, a cross country move could have been picked by a GeoIP flag. So this raises a question though about liability and such for voice services providers. Where do we stand. How much insurance should we have?
