These guys were selling access to 2 of the 3 telco networks in Australia. They used linkedin to target mainly private investigators. They could access 3 year old itemised billing statements, which included the confirmation of address, which was a major privacy issue.
The Telco's knew about this but struggled to investigate it, due to the juristriction issues. The AU federal police got involved and about 12 months later the first arrests started hapening.
Thanks for the up date. Do you know if a report has or will be issued identifying more details?
I say that because itemised billing is not a CDR. A CDR is recorded by the DCM data capture machine at the switch (the exchange). The CDR is then harvested data (an 'image' if you will) and subjected to 'treatment' such as 'conversion', 'reconciliation', 'removal' of extraneous data, sent for 'abstraction' and then 'addition' for inclusion of customer name, pricing, etc. Pretty far removed from the stage of real evidence. Come what may the itemised billing in evidence is not the original at this stage but contain elements from the original.
