This is getting worse...

Call Jacking: Phreaking the BT Home Hub | GNUCITIZEN

- annoyance or prank purposes - advanced phishing attacks in which the victims gets a phone call from "Trusted Bank" after clicking on a link included in the phishing email. The fact that the attacker calls the victim's phone number would help him/her gain the victim's trust. HINT: Phishers usually don't know your phone number! - toll fraud attacks in which the victim calls one of those very expensive number that allow the bad guys to make good bucks by simply starting the conversation I don't want to repeat myself, but please remember that from the victim point of view it looks like he is receiving a phone call but in fact he is making/paying for the phone call!
