While many people who value their privacy got pretty pissed when they found out that companies such as AT&T were illegally tapping their phones for the NSA, President Bush doesn’t see it that way. In fact, he thinks the wiretapping telcos are American heroes, and anyone who thinks differently is straight-up unpatriotic.
newVideoPlayer("stalker_phone_gawker.flv", 475, 376); We’re not trying to say that the Today Show/traditional media is fearmongering with this “cellphones are stalking the crap out of this family” story, but we had to change our underwear twice while watching this minute and a half clip.
If you take the video at face value, some “hackers” have taken over the family’s cellphones and are using it to record conversations and take illicit pictures of the victims. They’re also breaking into voicemail and leaving threats about raping and killing the daughter. This happens even if the family changes cellphones, apparently, so whoever’s doing this is a hardcore hax0r the likes we haven’t seen since the first Scream movie. – Jason Chen
