Re: They should be Fired Did you even read the article or the headline for that matter. They DID fire the ones who had no authorization to access the account. |

They did, but give a few minutes and others here will chime in that it's unfair that Obama gets "special treatment" when compared to the warrant less wiretapping laws. The fact is, Obama would have never known about it, from what I've read, Verizon discovered the issue, not Obama, the Secret Service, or anyone else for that matter.
So Verizon discovered people abusing access and took care of the matter. Verizon wanted to get some PR and decided to tell the entire world instead of just notifying Obama like they did, fire those responsible and just let drama no longer continue.
Instead, we keep hearing about this over and over, made out to be some serious security breach when it's nothing more than employees breaking the rules and getting fired over it.

And ALL Verizon employees (me included) are/were forced to sign a policy that states which accounts you can look at and which ones you can't. You even have to watch a training film where there is a family (of actors)at Thanksgiving dinner and Joey the VZ employee asks his brother Mikey to look up call details on his girlfriend because he thinks she is cheating.
The mother thinks it is ok to do. Camera stops and we were asked to vote who was right and who was wrong.
So bottom line, you are told "do not look at accounts you do not have permission to look at" or face termination.
Ever notice that they ask you "do I have permission to view your account"......
So I saw people fired for accessing their relatives accounts, friends etc. The Obama issue is no different.
The employees were incredibly stupid. |

said by NY Tel:The employees were incredibly stupid. And their employer is required to file a CPNI violation as detailed here »www.fcc.gov/eb/CPNI/Report.html .
FWIW a violation of CPNI is an escort out the door kinda thing no second chances no forgiveness.

Not so as Verizon once they discovered the problem is required to notify the subscriber in this case that being Obama or someone responsible for that account.
