When John Hargrave of Zug.com (otherwise known as “that one site that allegedly pranked the SuperBowl“) found out that the wireless carriers were doing a whole lot of nothing to keep the data store in cellular customer accounts safe, he decided to do what any good angry person does: grab a bullhorn. Rather than camping out on a soapbox and spitting his spite to random passersby, however, John took it to someone who really should care: the CEO of Verizon, Ivan Seidenberg.
After digging up Seidenberg’s home address by way of one of those scammy-looking “cell phone record search” sites, Hargrave headed out armed with nothing but the aforementioned megaphone… and an amp. While we’re not sure if Seidenberg actually got the message (it didn’t appear as if anyone was home), he’s sure to hear about it every day for sometime.

Awesome! I love what John Hargrave did. I’m a Verizon customer and very concerned about my privacy.
He shoulda turned the dial up to 11.
GREATTTTTT!!!!
“Can you hear me knowwww!!!”
But on a serious note this is important.
I don’t buy it. Those are not CEO of Verizon level houses. Nice, but not CEO nice.
I would think the CEO’s at other corporations should start worrying. If they were doing their jobs in the first place, they wouldn’t have to worry about angry customers.
