"NEW YORK, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Verizon Wireless said on Thursday that some employees had gained unauthorized access and viewed a personal cell phone account held by President-elect Barack Obama that is now inactive.
An Obama aide said his voice-mail messages and e-mails were not breached in the incident. "We were notified yesterday that employees had accessed the records of an old cell phone no longer in use," the Obama aide said. "No voice or e-mails were listened to or read." The company said the device in question was a simple voice phone, not a Blackberry or other device designed for e-mail or other data services." --clip-- More at http://www.reuters.com/article/vcCandidateFeed2/idUSN2035689520081121 It's not possible in the future: http://linuxbox.org/pipermail/funsec/2008-November/018885.html (Obama's BlackBerry to be banned?)
